Zimbabwe MPs Concerned Inactive Mines Turning Into Cemeteries

Columbus Mavhunga

   HARARE, ZIMBABWE - Zimbabwe's parliament has called on the government
   to resume rescue efforts at a mine that collapsed two weeks ago.
   Authorities had called off the efforts Dec. 5 after pulling six miners
   from the mineshaft, but the Zimbabwe Miners Federation says as many as
   40 people could still be trapped.
   Parliament's mines committee Wednesday said it wanted the government to
   resume searching for miners trapped underground since Nov. 25 when a
   shaft at the Ran gold mine in the Bindura district north of Harare
   collapsed.
