ORIGINAL STORY BELOW

By A Correspondent| Workers at a Chinese Gold mine in Sanyati are updating ZimEye following a police investigation over how they were subjected to dodgy Coronavirus tests that have left some of them totally blind.

The incidents investigated by ZimEye.com earlier in the month, also drew attention of Ministry of Health officials who traveled to the mine 2 weeks ago and ordered the practice to stop. While the act was initially reported to ZimEye as involving infra-red light machines, other workers the following week updated saying it was more than that, one of them endured bleeding fingers, saying he almost lost them.

Update comments from the police and the ministry of Health were awaited at the time of writing, but not forthcoming.

Others however are complaining about itching eyes, while others say they can no longer see. One of them narrates the matter in the below voice note:


“Chinese people are too clever gogo, the machine they brought to test Corona. It has now affected people, we are now asking them why their  machine affects people, causing blindness.

“We shall see how far this goes, right now I am waiting for the doctor.

“Right now, one of them is Sepo and many others they are the ones who were affected. It was two weeks ago.

“They were affected for over 2 to 3 days, but others the problem has continued.

“Others we recovered.

“So this is the problem we have. This is the story, we will tell you later how it goes.”

“So right now I have come to the Chinese company we were working. How it all happened – they came with a machine saying they wanted to test Coronavirus, so the machine began affecting people.

“Others got affected, and the company was reported to the police, so today we have come to Kadoma, so we get assessed.”
