Mines Ministry officials, however, said the ground is unstable, making rescue efforts complicated and dangerous. Mining incidents involving artisanal miners are common in Zimbabwe with several lives lost every year. Last month three miners died at Kunyu mine, Banze, Mudzi where two ore wagons fell into an inclined mine shaft and crushed them. The accident came a few days after at least 10 artisanal miners were trapped underground when a disused mine shaft at Ran Mine in Bindura, Mashonaland Central Province collapsed. *More: The Herald* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
