The Mopani mine accident rescue team has recovered some limbs from the debris in the ongoing search of four miners who died at the South Orebody Shaft, reports ZNBC.
And Mines Minister Christopher Yaluma says the search for the remains of the miners will continue until there is satisfaction that all the four miners are recovered from the debris.
Yaluma said this after he undertook a tour of the accident scene underground on Wednesday afternoon.
He says it is the desire of government to put a closure to the search.
And Yaluma says government in consultation with the unions has agreed that two members from each family be taken underground where the rescue team is operating from to appreciate what the team is doing.
And Mine Workers Union of Zambia Nkana Branch Chairman Pilias Mwaba says the union is pleased with government’s efforts in retrieving the remains of the four miners.
Earlier, Yaluma asked the bereaved families of the four miners to bear with government and the mining firm as efforts to retrieve the bodies have intensified.
The Minister shall also direct the insurance company to pay the compensation to the families of the deceased immediately. They shall not be made to wait for ages.
