By A Correspondent- Gold Panners have said that they suspect that some police officers in Gwanda could be involved in the robbery of their colleague who lost US$12 000 to armed robbers in the mining town.

They said their suspicion came from the precision and timing of the crime and also the late responsiveness by the authorises.

According to information shared on the miners’ WhatsApp groups, attacks on miners are now widespread.

“These groups seem to be many because yesterday in the afternoon and at Gwanda light industrial site, they robbed a gold dealer at gunpoint and went away with US$12 000,” one miner said.
