…running syndicate of illegal  miners mining near the shopping centre.

By Fanuel Chinowaita| It is now three days as the Support Unit in Kurwaisimba, Chimanimani, led by one, Inspector Dhema, continue running a syndicate of more than 200 illegal gold miners, near the shops.

According to a close source in the area who asked for anonymity for fear of victimization, police officers are sharing money with the so called owners of the land.

Officers who are claiming to be the land owners are operating under the leadership of Inspector Matii /Nzama, Dred Matiii, a teacher at Ndima secondary School, and a woman called mai Sasha Saziya.

A close source said, “police are not concerned about Corona which is killing many people, they are only concerned about looking for money.

“The support unit being led by Dhema at Kurwaisimba are doing wonders with more than 200 illegal miners, mining at the shops. It is now the third night doing this.

“These police officers are also allowing a bar called 24, owned by Kernel Kaneta to open for the whole night so that the illegal miners will drink in that bar.

“The owner of the bar is very stubborn.

“After mining, the owners of the land are sharing a lot of money.

“Yesterday they shared US$400.”
