well, why not? They already wrecked the agricultural economy, so why not confiscate mines from those who invested money into them and know what they are doing and give it to your cronies?
But at the bottom, it notes "
Over 28,000 people have been arrested on charges of illegal diamond and gold mining in an operation dubbed Chokorokoza Chapera (No Illegal Panning), which started in mid-November to curb the country of illegal mining activities as the country.'
.
Oh yes. Just like illegal vendors and unclean/unsafe slum housing were cleaned up with "operation cleanup", the pollution/ecological degradation from these small panning/mining is terrible. But in a country with 80% unemployment, and 1600% inflation, some people see it as the only way to feed their famiies, explains the BBC .
