A youth group is calling out brutal, unregulated mining that's literally tearing apart a Malawian hillside. The Muumoza Youth Organization, led by Bathoromew Shaba, is raising the alarm over the rapid destruction of Kamlindeni Hills in Senior Chief Mabulabo's area of Mzimba District. They report huge open pits, stripped vegetation, and abandoned mining waste, accusing the operations of having zero environmental safeguards. They are demanding immediate government action to halt the damage and investigate the mining company, owned by Daniel Naula, for its licenses and compliance.

The group warns that this scarring of the land will lead to severe soil erosion, wreck farmland, and pollute water sources for local communities, who were never consulted. Senior Chief Mabulabo confirmed he told the company to fill the pits, but no one seems sure if that's actually happening. When asked, Mining Authority spokesperson Nandie Mambucha Thawani said they were still looking into it, while the alleged mine owner, Daniel Naula, claimed he got no official complaints. This mess highlights the chronic issues in Malawi's mining sector, where extraction often happens without oversight, community consent, or any plan to heal the landscape afterward.
