Farai Dziva|Deputy Information Minister Energy Mutodi has congratulated himself for winning a lengthy battle with a Chinese company he claims has been carrying out illegal mining activities in Domboshava.

Mutodi won the battle against the company following Emmerson Mnangagwa’s intervention.

Earlier Mutodi chronicled how he singlehandedly fought for the protection of villagers in the area.

The company intended to evict 20 000 villagers in the area as it sought to create space for its operations, according to Mutodi.

” President Emmerson Mnangagwa has come to the rescue of Domboshava villagers who were facing eviction. A Chinese quarry mining firm Aihua Jianye intended to force the villagers out of their land.

The President has ordered that the firm stops mining activities in the area known for its rock art and as a tourist attraction,” said Mutodi.
