The Minister Of Environment, Tourism & Hospitality Industry Priscah Mupfumira has implored the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) and the Zimbabwe Mining Federation to work together to prevent mining disasters, as happened recently at Battlefields mines near Kadoma.
Mupfumira was speaking on the sidelines of the First Lady, Amai Auxillia Mnangwagwa’s tour the tragic Battlefields Mine Disaster site. Said Mupfumira:
I call upon EMA, Mines Ministry and the Mining Federation to work together to avoid such disasters from happening in the future. There is a need to collaborate on issues of compliance, registration and strict observation of safety regulations.
To the miners when safety recommendations and warnings are made by EMA let’s take hid of them as well.
