A Filabusi mining company started helping local miners instead of kicking them out. Kavango Zimbabwe began building proper houses for small miners who lived illegally near their Hillside mine. The company permitted these miners to work on one of their claims under safety rules. They will provide water, electricity, and homes for everyone living there.

Local villagers are happy about these changes. The informal miners have caused problems for almost ten years since a gold rush brought them to the area. They often steal from nearby communities. The new setup should improve relations as miners receive support for their work.

Kavango Resources CEO Ben Turney believes this plan creates safer gold mining conditions through proper regulation. He explained that after taking over the mine, they decided against forcing people away, which might have made illegal mining worse. The partnership aims to balance business needs with community welfare. Both groups expect better operations from working together. This approach could become an example for other companies facing similar situations with informal miners.
