Zambia: Remove Illegal Miners From Mpika Gold Site

It is disturbing that rampant illegal mining in the country has continued unabated despite several interventions by law enforcement agencies.

One may wonder if this illegality is thriving because some people genuinely lack alternative income-generating opportunities or it is just an organised crime spearheaded by some illegal mining syndicates.

Many mines across Zambia have been invaded with reports of illegal miners being killed while digging for various minerals, now becoming daily news.
