PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa and two of his ministers have been dragged to court for failing to avail information regarding the status of miners who got trapped at a mine in Matshetshe in Esigodini, Matabeleland South.
The court action has been initiated by one of the parents of the affected gold miners.
On November 10 this year, dozens of illegal miners were trapped in a shaft at the mine.
Efforts to rescue them were abandoned after the place was deemed unsafe for the operation.
However, Patience Ncube, mother to one of the trapped miners, on Monday filed an urgent application at the High Court under case number 2140/20, demanding the outcome of preliminary investigations conducted by the mines ministry.
