Speaking after visiting the Battlefields Mine disaster site in Mhondoro-Ngezi, First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa said mines should be thoroughly inspected to ensure safety.
Said Mnangagwa:
Our children will be looking for survival means as most are now fathers looking after their families. However, l would like to implore the mine owners, Ministry of Mines and Mining Development officials and the Environmental Management Agency that mines like this need thorough inspection. Government should enforce stiffer laws to mine owners who ignore directives to stop mining operations since they should strictly adhere to that.
