Redwing Mine in Penhalonga, which is being run by a company called BetterBrands owned by ZANU PF official and prominent gold dealer Pedzisai Scott Sakupwanya, has resumed operations.
The mine was temporarily closed by the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) at the end of January this year after more than 20 people died in 13 months.
Manicaland provincial mining director, Elton Makumbe confirmed the reopening of Redwing Mine to <a href="https://www.manicapost.co.zw/mining-resumes-at-redwing/">The Manica Post</a>. He said:
<blockquote>
They were given the nod to reopen. The decision was made after consideration of the amount of work they have done in restoring sanity in the area.
They have conditions that relate to environmental stewardship, and security in terms of beefing up and warding off illegal miners as well as the need for mining protective implements.
It is important to note that this is not overnight work to implement some of the set safety and environmental conditions. They can do that while generating revenue.
Various factors were also considered including the economic aspect in terms of people’s livelihoods as well as their (BetterBrands) contribution to the fiscus.
To us, it is a welcome move, given that they have done a lot in restoring sanity in the area.
One of the conditions that we could not compromise on was the issue of gas monitors. They need to have gas monitors.
</blockquote>
According to a joint statement issued by three civic groups, that is Centre for Research and Development (CRD), Ziva Community Empowerment Trust, and Penhalonga Youth Development Ratepayers Trust, on 22 January 2023, 100 artisanal have died at Sakupwanya’s mine since 2020.

Mining Operations Resume At Redwing Mine

Two more people are said to have died at Redwing Mine in Penhalonga, Manicaland, where <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Pedzai_Sakupwanya">Pedzai Scott Sakupwanya</a>’s Better Brands has reportedly continued conducting secret mining operations. 
According to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200008867/2-more-die-at-ed-allys-mine">NewsDay</a>, two more artisanal miners died on Monday.
The mine was closed in January by the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) over fatal accidents involving artisanal miners.
Manicaland police spokesperson Inspector Nobert Muzondo confirmed that two more deaths were reported on Monday. Muzondo is quoted as saying:
<blockquote>
Police confirm the sudden death by trapping in Penhalonga on March 13, 2023, of Hardlife Dzamiti (21) of Chiware village under Chief Nyashanu, Buhera, who entered into a mine shaft 8 metres deep. While inside, a mudslide fell into the mineshaft, trapping him.
On the same day, Joshua Ncube from Harare died of suffocation. Police said the now-deceased Ncube was in the company of Terrence Magwara in a 13-metre deep mineshaft when he developed some difficulties in breathing and died.
Mine deaths occur almost occasionally, the frequency is high because we have illegal miners who are sneaking into disused shafts. As police it is our call to those who are sneaking into the mineshafts to desist because the soils are loose because of the incessant rains.
</blockquote>
James Mupfumi, the director of the Centre for Research and Development said they were worried about recurrent deaths at Redwing Mine. He said:
<blockquote>
Perpetrators of slave labour in mining pits at Redwing Mine are behind gold smuggling, tax evasion and environmental degradation and loss of lives in Penhalonga and we are worried.
</blockquote>
Centre for Natural Resource Governance director Farai Maguwu urged authorities to stop “unsafe mining that is happening at the mine.” 
Sakupwanya is a ZANU PF councillor for Mabvuku Ward 21 .

Two More Die At Scott Sakupwanya's Mine As Secret Mining Continues

Redwing Mine in Penhalonga, which is being run by ZANU PF benefactor and prominent gold dealer Pedzisai Scott Sakupwanya, has temporarily been closed by the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) following reports of deaths of scores of artisanal miners.
Sakupwanya through his company Better Brands Mining has for some time, been defying EMA’s directive to stop operations until some civic groups threatened to demonstrate at the mine.
Three civic groups, that is Centre for Research and Development (CRD), Ziva Community Empowerment Trust, and Penhalonga Youth Development Ratepayers Trust, issued a joint statement on Sunday, 22 January.
In the statement, the groups claimed that 100 artisanal have died at Sakupwanya’s mine since 2020.
In a letter dated 20 January 2023, Better Brands said it was suspending operations in compliance with EMA’s directives. It reads:
<blockquote>
Better Brands hereby advises its valued stakeholders that all surface mining operations shall be suspended with immediate effect due to the concerns about the increased number of fatalities, and environmental degradation.
Better Brands Mining shall take this opportunity to restructure and rehabilitate the mining field in preparation for the resumption of surface and underground mining.
</blockquote>
CRD director James Mupfumi, however, questioned Better Brands’ sincerity in addressing the issues raised by EMA. He said:
<blockquote>
It is a temporary ban meant to fool the country from demanding accountability.
It has happened twice with lies on promises to return to safe mining practices.
We are approaching the government and Parliament to summon Better Brands.
</blockquote>
Mupfumi said if the government fails to address their grievances, they will approach the United Nations (UN) for redress. | <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200006494/mine-deaths-haunt-ed-ally">NewsDay</a>

EMA Halts Redwing Mine's Operations

The Centre for Natural Resources Governance (CNRG) director Farai Maguwu said he recently received death threats from a ZANU PF member for exposing gold looting allegedly masterminded by some ruling party bigwigs.
CNRG recently launched a 35-page report which claimed President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s ally Scott Sakupwanya was at the centre of gold leakages and violence at Redwing Mine in Penhalonga.
More than 1 000 small-scale miners are said to be currently operating at the mine.
Maguwu on Sunday said he received death threats from Chegutu West MP Dexter Nduna (ZANU PF) on Twitter. He said:
<blockquote>
It’s very unfortunate that after the report, I received death threats from Chegutu West MP Dexter Nduna on his Twitter (handle).
I want to make a police report on the matter because I am taking it seriously.
</blockquote>
According to Maguwu, the alleged threat read: “He should be patriotic and happy to avoid early recall. Anger gnaws at your vitals and leads to early death.”
Speaking to NewsDay on Sunday, Nduna professed ignorance about the death threat made against Maguwu. He said:
<blockquote>
I am not God, I don’t even know the person, he should first call me, (what) is the point of meeting him.
</blockquote>
Civil Society Organisations have claimed that gold leakages and illegal gold mining have become a security threat to Zimbabwe by attracting criminals from beyond the country’s borders.

CNRG Director Maguwu Receives Death Threats

Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) have demanded that the parliamentary portfolio committee on Mines and Mining Development investigates leakages of gold in Penhalonga, where artisanal miners and a company owned by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s ally, Scott Sakupwanya are extracting the metal.
Sakupwanya, who is a ZANU PF councillor for Mabvuku in Harare, owns Better Brands Mining Company, which is heavily involved in mining at Redwing Mine in Penhalonga.
The mining operations, formerly controlled by Metallon Gold, are now being done by Better Brands under the supervision of judicial managers.
Investigations by The NewsHawks have established that the mine is remitting to the government’s gold-buying agent Fidelity Refiners and Printers between 3.8kg and 5.6kg a month.
Illegal artisanal miners have invaded the gold fields allegedly with Sakupwanya’s concurrence.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with The NewsHawks, James Mupfumi, the director for the Centre for Research and Development (CRD), a CSO which conducted investigations into the goings-on at Redwing Mine, said:
<blockquote>
Parliament has a responsibility to track possibilities of money laundering and illicit financial outflows in Zimbabwe’s gold trade with Dubai because nothing is accruing to Zimbabwean citizens from its gold.
We are concerned about zero accountability and loss of lives in mining activities at Redwing Mine in Penhalonga.
The shielding of human rights abuse in gold mining by the government requires Parliament to hold the executive to account.
Gold is being looted in clear violation of environmental rights by the government. The Mnangagwa-led government has virtually frozen the law in gold mining in total violation of the constitution.
</blockquote>
Chairperson of the Parliamentary portfolio committee on Mines, Edmund Mkaratigwa, who is also Shurugwi South MP (ZANU PF), said:
<blockquote>
There are activities of criminal nature being witnessed in the area. They may not necessarily have to wait for us as we have tried to look at the broader legal, policy and administrative framework in that respect.
In fact, it means the security arms of government should move in unless there are strategic solutions.
Negative operational issues speak to inefficiency and ineffectiveness, issues which we addressed in our submissions and continue to help undo, through all powers and abilities at our disposal.
</blockquote>
Mrakatigwa said that lawlessness cannot be tolerated adding that authorities remain open to attending to any issue that requires the committee’s attention.
