Dead Miners’ Search Continues

MINISTER of Mines, Energy and Water Development Christopher Yaluma says the search for bodies of four miners who died underground at Mopani Copper Mines (MCM’) in Kitwe last week will continue until the remains are found.
Mr Yaluma said at a media briefing at MCM in Kitwe yesterday that it was important to accord the deceased a decent funeral, noting that bereaved families are looking forward to that.
The minister, who went underground to check on recovery efforts, is confident that the remains will be found.
“We went underground up to the recovery point. Few things in terms of machinery have been recovered. We could see the cubex machine equipment. It is totally mangled and it’s right there,” Mr Yaluma said.
He said some limbs have been recovered and he has instructed MCM to allow some members of each affected family to go underground and see efforts being made to recover the bodies.
