Bindura gold claim mining suspension upheld by court
Mining at the Kimberly F gold claim in Bindura will stay suspended until the case is fully resolved. The High Court made this decision after a request from Plaxedes Mubaiwa, Patrick Mateu, Edmore Kauteko, and Joel Mtetwa, who are part of the Time of Hope Mining Syndicate. They argued that they were unlawfully removed from the site on July 11 after a court order was granted without notifying them.
The applicants claimed the eviction order was invalid because it only involved one person and did not include all members. The judge agreed that the eviction was wrong and said that the applicants had rights to the mining area. He also noted that continuing operations could cause harm before the case is fully decided.
