Said Nyathi: > Police are investigating a case in which one Mr Pesanai Chiresve who was a teacher at George Chipadze Secondary School in Zvishavane died after he lost control of a hoist he was using to lower a colleague at a mine where they were illegally panning for gold. He lost footing and fell headlong into the mine tunnel. Chiresve’s body was retrieved and taken to Zvishavane District Hospital mortuary. He will be buried at his rural home in Chivi this Saturday. Makasi, who was being lowered underground using a tin tied to a rope, is said to be recuperating at Zvishavane District Hospital after sustaining fractures. Zimbabwean teachers are the least-paid government employees, earning about US$35 per month. As a result, teachers have abandoned schools and are now engaged activities such as gold panning, hawking and market gardening. *More: The Herald* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
