ILLEGAL gold panners (amakorokoza) are reportedly threatening a $26 million investment at Sabi Gold Mine in Zvishavane where they are accused of blasting pillars, which support underground mining operations. With the mine set to resume operations after a local investor, Chandiwana Mining Corporation injected $26 million into the mine to partner Zimbabwe Mining Development Corporation (ZMDC), Sabi judicial manager Wesley Sibanda bemoaned the existence of illegal gold panners whom he said were even vandalising priceless mine equipment.
