Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>The search for the deceased 45 year old illegal miner who died in Zimba district has entered day three.<\/p>\n

Mwangala Mwakoi died in Mapatizya area on July 27 around 03:00 hours after being buried alive, following the collapse of a pit under which he was allegedly digging amethyst.<\/p>\n

Zimba District Commissioner Robson Mulamfu who visited the scene, where the accident took place, regretted the development.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is sad that life has been lost. I am here in Mapatizya to witness the excavator toe exhume Mwakoi\u2019s body from the earth arising from the soil that buried him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Southern Region Mines and Minerals Development Officer Dickson Banda, has called on people living in mining areas to desist from illegal mining activities.<\/p>\n

Mr. Banda says all those who want to engage in mining, need to formalize processes and ensure safety is upheld.<\/p>\n

The excavator is still searching for the victim\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

Family members, senior government officials and villagers are on site, waiting to witness the possible retrieval of the body of the deceased man.<\/p>\n
