Fidelity Gold Refinery (FGR) General Manager Mr Peter Magaramombe has expressed condolences and heartfelt sympathies to the grieving families affected by the recent tragic mine accident at Bay Horse Mine in Chegutu.
In a statement, Magaramombe also conveyed sincere hopes for a swift recovery to those who have sustained injuries.
“On behalf of Fidelity Gold Refinery (FGR) and on my own behalf, I would like to express our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies to all bereaved families affected by the recent mine accident at Beyhorse Mine in Chegutu. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the deceased, and we extend our sincere wishes for a speedy recovery to those who have been injured.
“This mine accident has undoubtedly caused immense pain and sorrow within the Zimbabwe mining community. As Fidelity, we stand in solidarity with you.
“We also want to acknowledge the spirited efforts of the rescue teams who are tirelessly working to rescue those who are still stuck underground,” Magaramombe said.
Thirty people were trapped underground at Beyhorse Mine in Chegutu after the 150m deep Mineshaft collapsed on Friday last week.
According to Deputy Minister of Mines and Mining Development Eng Polite Kambamura, 13 miners have been rescued so far and 21 others remain trapped underground. Rescue efforts are currently underway and it has been highlighted that the mission to comb the debris for bodies and survivors was hampered by the unstable ground, which continued to cave in.
