Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A Kwekwe<\/b> gold miner has been reported to police on charges of having stolen gold ore and other mining accessories from a mine at the centre of a boundary dispute.<\/p>\n

Chanakira Masuku is accused of stealing about 1.5kg of gold, tonnes of gold ore worth over US$30 000, two drums of cyanide and caustic soda from Somerset 16 mine in Sosombe, Kwekwe, NewsDay reported citing a police report case number 5393592.<\/p>\n

Masuku is also accused of vandalising a perimeter fence of the Somerset 16 mine owned by Mistopher Khan under registration number 24107. The mine was registered on September 10, 2002.<\/p>\n

Records show that Masuku is the registered owner of Somerset 792 and 791 under registration numbers 32929 and 32928 respectively.<\/p>\n

However, Masuku has been accused of encroaching into Khan\u2019s Somerset 16 to loot gold ore and other mining accessories.<\/p>\n

He was reported to Police on Monday, 26 December 2022.<\/p>\n

A few months ago, Masuku was reported to the Mines and Mining Development ministry on charges of encroaching into Somerset 16 and the neighbouring Old Crick mine 5 and Old Crick 11 owned by Ashraft Khan.<\/p>\n

According to minutes of a dispute resolution meeting held on July 14, 2022, it was established that Masuku\u2019s Somerset 792 was illegally pegged by some corrupt mining officials. The minutes read in part:<\/p>\n

Somerset 792 falls completely within Old Crick 11 and is recommended for cancellation. It was pegged in breach of section 31 of the (Mines and Mining) Act.<\/p>\n
