Farai Dziva|Deputy Information Minister Energy Mutodi has confronted a Chinese company over ” unauthorised ” mining activities in Domboshava.

Mutodi claims the company is clandestinely carrying out quarry mining activities in the area.

Mutodi further claims an MDC A councillor and a senior government official are involved in the illegal mining activities.

“I have prematurely ended my ZITF tour in order to attend to villagers in Domboshava who are claiming a Chinese company is planning to evict 20 000 individuals from their land after it was granted mining rights to extract quarry stones from a hill in their area,” tweeted Mutodi.

Yesterday Mutodi claimed the company was granted mining permission in dubious circumstances.
