Staff Reporter| A miner at controversial Vumbachikwe Gold Mine in Gwanda this morning died after falling over 180 metres down a mine shaft in a freak accident.
The man who has since been identified is reported to have gone down the shaft when a cage he was using to go down the shaft developed a technical fault.
Workers at the mine blamed mine management for recklessness due to it’s continued resistance to service its equipment.
In recent media exposures workers at the mine claimed that the new management is neglecting the mine as they are not planting funds back into the operations of the mine.
Workers at the mine have gone for almost two years without salaries.
