Meanwhile, Alisha’s father Andy Muzwiti holds Hwange Colliery Company Limited (HCCL) responsible for his daughter’s death and wants to take legal action.
He accuses the company of negligence due to its failure to secure its coal dumpsites.
Over the past few years, several people in Hwange have either died or were seriously hurt after stepping on hot coal furnaces.
However, HCCL has denied accusations that it caused Alisha’s death and those of other Hwange residents.
It says the victims would have ventured on prohibited areas like the Number. 3 dumpsite where Alisha was burnt while relieving herself.
