Can a Zimbabwean go and illegally mine at The Great Wall of China?

[Dandaro Online @DandaroOnline]

#dandarostreets A concerned citizen has shared a video showing Chinese mining equipment and workers excavating on Mutare’s Christmas Pass, raising alarm over activities taking place on the mountain.

Christmas Pass is one of Mutare’s most iconic landmarks, serving as the scenic gateway into the city and offering panoramic views of the surrounding Eastern Highlands.

Chinese destruction, a tragedy of Zimbabwe

Look at how they preserved their mountains at Tianmen

Now consider the sorry situation at Christmas Pass, Mutare

1. Mr President, Stop the Destruction of Our Land by Chinese Miners

Open Letter to His Excellency President @edmnangagwa

Your Excellency, President Emmerson Mnangagwa, when you took the oath of office, you proclaimed yourself a “listening president.”

Today, us the people of Zimbabwe are crying out to be heard.

We appeal to your leadership and your conscience to urgently act against the unchecked environmental destruction and human suffering caused by morally bankrupt Chinese mining companies across our beloved nation.

Our beloved land, the very soil that bore the liberation struggle, is being ravaged in ways that our liberation war heroes never envisaged when they sacrificed their lives for independence.

They took up arms to free us from colonialism, not to see our people entrapped in neocolonial exploitation, where foreign interests, under the guise of “investment,” plunder our resources, poison our rivers, and leave our communities in despair.

Your Excellency, we cannot ignore the painful glaring evidence.

In Buhera’s Mukwasi Village, the Chinese-owned Sabi Star Mine has turned daily life into torment.

Dust from ore-hauling trucks smothers homes, water sources, crops, and grazing fields.

Villagers are suffering respiratory illnesses, livestock is dying, and children risk their lives crossing roads clouded with dust.

The promise of relocation and tarred roads was broken, leaving communities trapped in misery.

At Bikita Minerals, chemical spills and reckless water extraction have contaminated rivers and dams, depriving entire communities of safe drinking water.

Workers have died under unsafe conditions, while forced relocations have left families stranded without dignity or support.

In Goromonzi, Shengxiang Investments openly defied government shutdown orders, exposing the weakness of our enforcement mechanisms.

If companies can openly defy the state, what does that say of sovereignty?

Are we not a sovereign nation that has autonomy over its constitution, laws and resources?

Your Excellency, these are not isolated cases. From Manicaland to Midlands, reports echo the same story — displacement, poisoned rivers, deforestation, and livelihoods destroyed.

Even Members of Parliament, local councillors and traditional leaders have raised concerns, but their pleas are met with arrogance and silence from these companies, shielded by the lure of foreign direct investment.

The obsession with GDP growth, largely fueled by Chinese “investment,” is a destructive illusion.

What good is US$674 million in lithium exports if the people who live on this land are breathing dust instead of air, drinking poison instead of water, and burying their loved ones before their time?

This blurred obsession of economic growth, without factoring the negative environmental, socio-economic and social implications is destroying humans and is not development.

We urge you, Your Excellency, to abandon this blind chase for GDP figures and adopt a development path that values the Human Development Index (HDI) — where access to health, education, clean water, safe work, and a livable environment define progress.

That is the true measure of prosperity.

To achieve this prosperity Zimbabwe has to allow these communities to make their own decisions.

Plan for their own development priorities from Village development committees, up to the provincial leadership.

This can only be achieved through embracing section 264 of the constitution, enacting a Devolution Act that promotes bottom up governance.

Mr President, history is calling.

Just as your predecessor Robert Mugabe was reluctant to listen and act decisively on Chinese mining investments plunged our nation into crisis, your reluctance to regulate destructive mining adds salt to the injury and now risks another painful chapter.

Do not allow your legacy to be remembered as the era when our land, heritage, and culture were bartered away to foreign exploiters.

The family of missing Camp Mystic girl Renee Smajstrla gives heartbreaking update.

“Thank you to all our friends and family for all the prayers and outreach,” said Shawn Salta on Facebook.

“Renee has been found and while not the outcome we prayed for, the social media outreach likely assisted the first responders in helping to identify her so quickly.”

“We are thankful she was with her friends and having the time of her life, as evidenced by this picture from yesterday. She will forever be living her best life at Camp Mystic. Please continue to pray for the other families in Kerrville.”

Rest in peace, Renee 🙏

🌑 PATHETIC : They came to Chilota, Hwange, dug coal from the road itself and left. A Chinese mining company turned Dheka Road into a dead end: for transport, for livelihoods, for the community. They call it investment. Let’s call it what it truly is: PLUNDER and DESTRUCTION!

PAUSE:

Howzit?

I’ve been asked to share an urgent appeal on behalf of one of my followers. It’s a tough situation, and I’d really appreciate your help getting the word out and pitching in if you can.

Marshall Takunda Bayela, a 26-year-old young man, is battling stage 4 kidney cancer. His aunt, Nothabo Nkomo-Schröder, and uncle, Phathisani Khumalo, are spearheading this fundraiser with his mom, Bridget Mutsimba’s full approval She’s also okayed sharing his story here.

Marshall’s condition is critical. The tumour on his right kidney weighs over 1kg and has started spreading to his liver. Before he can undergo life-saving surgery, doctors require three months of oral chemo to shrink the tumor. Here’s the breakdown of costs:

1. Oral chemo: $980/month for 3 months ($2,940 total)
2. Scans: $250/month
3. Check-ups & blood tests: $140/month
4. Surgery to remove the tumor: Around $11,000
5. Future liver treatment: TBD after the kidney surgery

Marshall’s family is hoping to raise $15,000 to give him a fighting chance. Any support ,whether it’s a donation, a retweet, or just keeping him in your thought ,means a lot.

Please retweet ,every little helps . Let’s come together for Marshall! 🙏��

Thank You.

So this issue of mining within Hwange National Park is back on the agenda. In 2020 government banned mining activities at the country’s national parks following public outrage after the granting of coal mining grants to Chinese miners at Hwange National Park.
This was after the Zimbabwe Environmental Law Association filed an urgent chamber application at the High Court challenging the government’s decision to grant concessions to Afrochine Energy and the Zimbabwe Zhongxin Coal Mining Group inside Hwange National Park, arguing that this would be harmful to the environment.

Here is my update. Count the kids….

Turn of events(this is how our journey has been for almost 10 years)

Psalm 113:9 He gives the childless woman a family, making her a happy mother. Praise the LORD!

We prayed for twins for a year. We got a call for twins and there were some major road stops we didn’t know about as we talked about it all with the social worker… this call a few days ago led to 3 siblings whose parental rights are terminated. There is a baby and 2 young children. We thought they had found a home but the Lord had other plans and they called our social worker as we finished up with the other one to let us know they would really like us to take them and we would be a good fit …. They will be here Monday.

HIS WILL WAS DONE. soli deo gloria.

2-5 in a few days 😳
