Dhliwayo says she disapproves of the unregulated mining because of its damage to the environment especially the rivers. | |
She said she used to get herbs to prepare natural home-made remedies for mild ailments in the family from the river banks. | |
The herbs are no longer growing along the rivers because of heavy pollution by dangerous chemicals such as mercury used by the gold miners. | |
Also facing a similar tragic predicament is Maria Dhliwayo, who only has primary education and is married to Kefas Dhliwayo. https://www.dailynews.co.zw/articles/2017/04/09/women-dig-into-gold-panning |
