2 more workers die at Redwing Mine

AUTHORITIES at Redwing Mine in Penhalonga, Manicaland province, are increasingly coming under pressure from civil society organisations due to deaths of artisanal miners in two separate incidents this week.

In a joint statement yesterday by the Centre for Research and Development, Zivai Community Empowerment Trust, Penhalonga Youth Development Trust and Penhalonga Residents and Ratepayers Trust, they said over 100 artisanal miners have died at the mine since 2020.

This week alone, two deaths have been reportedly recorded at the mine.
