The mining industry recorded an increase in mining accidents during the period January to July 2023, compared to the same period last year.
According to the latest State of Mining Industry Survey Report for 2024 released by the Chamber of Mines last week, the mining industry reported 110 fatal accidents during the period January to July 2023, compared to 106 fatal accidents during the same period last year.
The 110 accidents resulted in 120 fatalities and 92 percent of the accidents reported during the period under review occurred underground, with large-scale operations contributing 18 percent to the total accidents. Part of the report reads:
<blockquote>
Of the 20 accidents reported for large-scale mines, 80 percent were in underground operations. Illegal mining operations contributed 22 percent to the total number of accidents. The small-scale mining industry contributed 60 percent to the total number of fatal accidents.
</blockquote>
Speaking to the <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/mining-fatalities-soar-illegal-mining-blamed-for-workplace-accidents/">Chronicle</a>, Chamber of Mines president, Thomas Gono, said that there is a need to educate miners on safe mining methods. He said:
<blockquote>
We are in the process of segmenting the country into different mining districts and identifying large and small-scale miners.
On a quarterly basis, we are going to have stakeholder meetings to discuss safe mining practices to indicate to miners that sustainable mining is more beneficial than haphazard mining.
We are of the view that the awareness programmes will reduce mining accidents.
Most accidents happen because of unsafe methods of mining, therefore, we need to also consult the Government.
</blockquote>
Young Miners Foundation chief executive officer, Payne Kupfuwa, said they are concerned over deaths and injuries that occur in disused mines. He said:
<blockquote>
As an organisation, we have come up with deliberate programmes where we are encouraging people to formalise by grouping themselves into syndicates of six to secure mining rights in different provinces and areas.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, the Chamber of Mines said that most mining companies have adopted zero-harm initiatives, such as occupational safety and health accidents promotion and environmental protection in order to reduce fatal accidents and other negative impacts of mining on society.

120 Miners Killed From January To July 2023

Two bodies of illegal miners who were buried underground after their mine shaft caved in for over a week were retrieved on Friday.
Rescue teams had spent over a week searching for the bodies without success.
Last week, Chief Mutasa, traditional healers and villagers conducted rituals at the mine site in Mutare River in Penhalonga seeking spiritual guidance for rescue teams to no avail.
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson in Manicaland Province Nobert Muzondo confirmed the latest development to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/thestandard/news/article/200015871/bodies-retrieved-from-mine-shaft">The Standard</a> on Saturday. He said:
<blockquote>
It’s true that the two bodies have been found in a decomposed state.
</blockquote>
Penhalonga Youth Development Trust director Clinton Masanga, who was on the ground, said “Something must be done to stop these deaths”.
Centre for Research and Development director James Mupfumi, said:
<blockquote>
There is a need for investigation into beneficial shareholding of exclusive prospecting orders and special grants.
</blockquote>
The mine is reportedly owned by Simba Dumbura, who is believed to be politically connected.

Bodies Of Illegal Miners Retrieved From Mine Shaft

The Mberengwa-Zvishavane Miners Association has urged the Government to introduce mining as a subject in primary and secondary schools.
Speaking during the 2023 Great Dyke Career Fair held at Gresham Primary School in Zvishavane recently, the miners’ association chairperson Themba Sibanda, said:
<blockquote>
l have been challenged by the school which has introduced hunting as a subject, why can’t mining be introduced as a subject so that those in trenches get the necessary knowledge at an early stage?
</blockquote>
Sibanda argued that many youths are venturing into gold mining and there is a need for learners to be exposed to the mining industry as a career option.
He also said that teaching mining as a subject in schools will help in curbing mine deaths and encourage environment-friendly mining methods.
The Minister of Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development Professor Amon Murwira was the guest of honour at the event.
Errymaple group of schools recently introduced hunting as a subject, reported The Mirror.
Zimbabwe is endowed with vast mineral resources that include platinum group metals (PGM), chrome, gold, coal, diamonds, and lithium.

Miners Urge Govt To Introduce Mining As A Subject In Schools

Ex-Wenela workers will start receiving payments ranging from R10 000 to R50 000 per individual in compensation early next year.
This was said by a Tshiamiso Trust delegation that was sent to Zimbabwe last week.
Tshiamiso Trust was set up after ex-Wenela workers won a class-action lawsuit in the South African High Court in July 2019 to handle the compensation process.
Tshiamiso Trust chief operating officer Tina da Cruz told <a href="https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/ex-wenela-payments-set-for-early-next-year">The Sunday Mail</a> that each beneficiary will be paid depending on the level at which he or she had suffered from respiratory diseases. Said, Cruz:
<blockquote>
We are delighted to be here for a positive engagement with the Government of Zimbabwe and other stakeholders.
We managed to develop a roadmap that we look forward to implementing. We are expecting that shortly, within the early next calendar year, it will be fully operationalised and will be receiving applications and processing the claims of deserving claimants.
</blockquote>
The Trust said that it is considering workers who were employed by African Rainbow Minerals, Anglo American South Africa, AngloGold Ashanti, Gold Fields, Harmony Gold and Sibanye-Stillwater.
The compensation is applicable to employees who carried out risky work at the mines between March 12, 1965 and December 10, 2019, and were diagnosed with silicosis before December 2021.
Workers who contracted tuberculosis while working at the mines, or within a year of leaving the mines are also entitled to receive compensation.
Tshiamiso Trust has paid over R930 million to more than 10 000 claims from ex-workers.
Zimbabwe’s Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Permanent Secretary Simon Masanga said:
<blockquote>
We have a database of at least 4 000 ex-Wenela mine workers who will be subject to vetting before receiving compensation.
The Government is going to set up an online registration platform, which will enable all ex-Wenela workers to register.
As Government, we are now appealing to all these ex-workers wherever they are to start compiling all the necessary documents to prove that they worked for these companies.
Affidavits are not considered as evidence in this process. Contractual documents, if they are present, will be crucial.
A mobile clinic will be available to carry out tests that will ascertain who will be benefiting.
</blockquote>
Ex-Wenela Miners Association of Zimbabwe national spokesperson Newman Machinga said:
<blockquote>
As an association, we are pleased with the development. We hope everyone who is entitled to the payments is going to benefit. We have been pushing for a long time to achieve this.
</blockquote>
Ex-Wenela Miners Association of Zimbabwe chairman Rodgers Munakamwe said:
<blockquote>
We have spent the last 42 years trying to track down unpaid pension dues deducted from their wages without their knowledge and consent.
Painful memories of labour injustices perpetrated against them are still fresh in their minds and a majority of the ex-miners contracted chronic diseases in the South African mines.
It’s sad that 25 percent of the ex-miners lost their lives due to a lack of money to seek medical attention.

"Payments For Ex-Wenela Workers Set For Early 2023"

Youths who are involved in small-scale mining have appealed to authorities to reduce the mining levies required for one to operate in order to allow growth and development in the sector.
In June 2021, the government, through Statutory Instrument 185 of 2021, announced new mining fees which are considered exorbitant by small-scale miners.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/small-scale-miners-cry-foul-over-exorbitant-taxes/" rel="nofollow">NewZimbabwe.com</a>, Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) youth secretary for Matabeleland North, Nkululeko Ngwenya said the high fees are negatively affecting the growth of the mining sector. He said:
<blockquote>
Mines inspection fee is US$300, Environmental Management Agency (EMA) wants US$250, then the council also wants US$400. The money needed is too much and affects growth in the sector.
We are asking that the government might consider our pleas and reduce operations fees so that the industry may grow and boom, supporting development in the mining sector.
</blockquote>
Ngwenya said the exorbitant fees have hindered many small-scale miners from formally registering and regularising their illegal operations.
