Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Villagers in Kanengoni village under Chief Negomo in Chiweshe are distressed after illegal gold panners invaded a cemetery in the area in search of gold.<\/p>\n

Kraal head, Garikayi Kanengoni, confirmed the development to H-Metro saying the illegal miners were expected to appear before Chief Negomo. He said:<\/p>\n

I received information that there were some illegal miners operating at the village cemetery and I could not believe it.<\/p>\n

As kraal head, I engaged Chief Negomo\u2019s secretary and we visited the anthill where we lay to rest our relatives, and where our forefathers were laid to rest.<\/p>\n

It is unbelievable that the miners failed to respect the dead and went on to expose some of the graves, in search of gold.<\/p>\n

The matter has disturbed villagers and we agreed that this must stop.<\/p>\n

Vamwe vana vacho ndevemumusha handizive kuti kana vavekufukunura makuva tochivigira kupi vafi uye isu tikafa tinovigwa kupi.<\/b><\/p>\n

(Some of the culprits are locals and I\u2019m concerned that we won\u2019t have a burial place anymore as they are digging up the cemetery.)<\/p>\n

Families have been clashing over this matter and it has been stopped and appropriate action has been taken.<\/p>\n

The people involved are expected to appear before Chief Negomo this Saturday and I promise that this will surely be brought to a halt.<\/p>\n

Authorities have turned a blind eye to the desecration of the cemetery as they are reportedly being given gold to allow the mining to continue.<\/p>\n
