A Goromonzi mining operation faces allegations of operating illegally while multiple worker fatalities and serious injuries accumulate at the site. Sources claim Larryscope Investments conducts underground extraction using only a surface certificate rather than proper mining authorization, with regulatory bodies declining to halt activities despite the mounting casualties.
Police documentation confirms several incidents over recent months, with workers suffering fatal and permanently disabling injuries from rockfalls in unstable shafts. William Kwirirai sustained back and leg trauma, while Eddie Chirima died instantly when struck by a falling stone. Tafadzwa Muzvidziwa endured catastrophic injuries resulting in permanent wheelchair dependence following a September accident.
Employees describe management preventing injured staff from seeking medical attention and operating without qualified safety personnel or protective equipment. The mine reportedly dismisses workers who raise concerns about hazardous conditions. Owner Reginald Mthombeni did not provide a comment when contacted.
