Mberengwa miner killed in boulder accident<\/strong><\/p>\n

A prominent artisanal miner Godfrey Maposa died<\/a> after a huge boulder hit him while coming out of a shaft. The miner’s demise left the Mberengwa residents in awe. The boulder that hit him was removed by a bulldozer as colleagues tried to remove the big boulder to no avail.<\/p>\n

The District Development Coordinator Nyede Ndeya urges miners<\/a> to be very careful or if possible stop mining activities under the current heavy rains<\/a>. The rains make the ground unstable and highly susceptible to collapsing.<\/p>\n

The incident took place at Jumbo North Mine near Dove Bridge in Mberengwa. A witness Givemore Msipa present at site reports to the Mirror:<\/p>\n

“They were working in a group of 6 when hey started coming out of the shaft around lunch time. The others came out but large boulders started falling into the shat when it was his (Godfrey Maposa) turn. A boulder squashed him and it was too big his colleagues could not move it. A bulldozer was called in to remove the boulder,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The miner<\/a> died on the spot and was taken to Zvishavane.<\/p>\n

Popularly known for his footballing skills, Godfrey Maposa was the captain of the Vanguard football team. The Vanguard football coach, players<\/a> and staff are still in shock.<\/p>\n
