Cyanide is a hazardous substance used in recovering gold during mining operations and has catastrophic consequences on the environment, particularly on humans and animals if improperly handled. In the first incident, which occurred on December 6, seven cattle died in Zvimba from cyanide poisoning.
Investigations so far show that a pump failed due to excess rains, resulting in residue overflowing out of a mill confinement.
It flowed into the environment and cattle came into contact with the contaminated vegetation, resulting in death.
