May the deceased rest in peace. Could someone kindly enlighten some of us on this “black mountain”, is it a normal mining operation or unauthorized illegal dealing?
If the jerabos did not put up safety measures who should be blamed?
It is sad to learn the death of our young men. MTSRIP. The government should be blamed for this fatality, the “Black mountain” was weaken by uncontrolled blasting may be the blasting were being carried out by inexperienced blasters. I am waiting for a comment from the Minister of Mines & Mineral Development.
