Speaking during a familiarisation tour of Bulawayo’s water supply
dams, Deputy Director of Engineering Services, Ian Mthunzi, pointed out
that illegal mining activities were damaging the environment and
affecting the quality of the water.
“Omakorokoza are a real problem especially those that are operating
along the City’s supply dams. The most affected dams are Lower Ncema,
Upper Ncema and Mzingwane Dams,” said Mthunzi.
“Council is forced to spend more money in purifying the water and
supply residents with clean water. Siltation and other chemicals used by
these illegal miners makes the water very dirty and in-consumable.”
