Last week, Chief Mutasa, traditional healers and villagers conducted rituals at the mine site in Mutare River in Penhalonga seeking spiritual guidance for rescue teams to no avail.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson in Manicaland Province Nobert Muzondo confirmed the latest development to The Standard on Saturday. He said:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true that the two bodies have been found in a decomposed state.<\/p>\n

Penhalonga Youth Development Trust director Clinton Masanga, who was on the ground, said \u201cSomething must be done to stop these deaths\u201d.<\/p>\n

Centre for Research and Development director James Mupfumi, said:<\/p>\n

There is a need for investigation into beneficial shareholding of exclusive prospecting orders and special grants.<\/p>\n

The mine is reportedly owned by Simba Dumbura, who is believed to be politically connected.<\/p>\n
