This is the same river this administration tried to use as propaganda through Nzema Updates, which bloggers pushed to create the impression that NAIMOS is fighting against illegal mining and to placate our anger. The first video was posted just two days ago, while the second which was pushed...

The way we protect politicians over here is really sad. They do nothing about the problems surrounding us but are quick to pump money to some few people to push a narrative that they're doing something 😞

So the one spot where the sea meets the river is now the official galamsey progress report? Both past and present governments have been running this exact con for years. Same spot, same bloggers, same river still brown

The sad part is that the people that you're fighting for are not on social media. They're still doing it. They'll do it today, tomorrow and another day. When I or some natives give you proper details, you'll know the exact people that you must attack 24/7.

Exactly what I said when that video popped up. It was the sea mixing with the river and I’m sure the river was blocked liked it happened sometime ago.

If you really want to fight galamsey, then you need more education on it. I have told you several times but you choose not to reply my messages. This river is gone for good😭. I care more than you do bcs this is where I live.

Yesterday I rode down to the Umzingwane river from The City of Bulawayo. In the course of the ride I was able to inspect the state of some of the Umzingwane’s tributaries and the river itself. The good news, as shown by the attached video and pictures, is that the Umzingwane itself has been in flood and is still flowing strongly. The bad news is that I witnessed illegal gold mining in virtually every tributary, and very few tributaries were actually flowing. In all the pools in tributaries the water is exceptionally muddy, a sign of massive erosion upstream. The attached photos show tributaries not flowing and some of these discolored pools. After so much rain these tributaries should still have been flowing but they weren’t. To explain the significance of this I need to emphasize that the catchment has had at least 600mm of rain this season so far and last week alone had over 100 mms of rain - and yet the bulk of the tributaries weren’t flowing yesterday. Despite all the rain we have had Umzingwane as at the 21st January is only at 30,1 % full. In contrast Mshabezi dam is 100% full and yet its catchment area is very close to Umzingwane’s. The difference is that whereas Mshabezi’s catchment is mainly in the north eastern Matopos and has hardly any gold mining, Umzingwane’s catchment has been utterly devastated by illegal mining. Towards the end of 2024 Government banned alluvial mining in river courses. Yesterday I saw numerous miners hard at it. As stated above nearly every tributary of the Umzingwane has evidence of mining taking place. There are large camps of illegal miners. Despite this I didn’t see a single EMA or ZRP patrol. These miners are continuing their illegal work with impunity. The consequences for our City are devastating. Government needs to bring this existential threat to an end immediately otherwise Bulawayo’s water crisis will continue, indeed worsen. We are fortunate this year to have had a good rains which have put some water in our dams. In a drought year there will be almost no inflow. So this illegal mining must be brought to an end immediately.

The irony is that what the Ghanaians are protesting about is not 10% of the same environmental catastrophe that is happening in Nigeria (illegal surface mining). I just screen recorded the path of the Niger River from Google Earth. Notice how it starts off clear in Niger Republic, then starts to yellow after it enters Nigeria, then becomes sand brown once it gets to Kainji (major illegal mining hub), then gets silted up to the point of having multiple sand islands between Lokoja and Onitsha. Look at the same comparison of the Benue River and how it is clear in Cameroon, then turns brown once it flows into Nigeria and passes through the multiple illegal mining areas in Nigeria's northeast. What you are looking at is a live map from space showing how over 70 million Nigerians whose water, food or livelihood come from these rivers and their surrounding water tables are being poisoned by lead, arsenic and other toxic runoff materials from illegal mining. What you are also looking at is a map that shows the riverbeds of Nigeria's 2 inland water lifelines silting up and becoming shallower, leading to dam failure and flooding in the surrounding estuaries - something that the idiots in Abuja are paid $1,000 by foreign NGOs to misreport as "Climate Change" by the same interests benefitting from unregistered mining of all kinds going on in Nigeria. What you are also looking at is a map that shows how the yellow or brown spots in the rivers' course through the North and Middle Belt match remarkably well with spots where genocidal incidents that drove communities off their land permanently were recorded. Anyway since I'm now Comrade Hundeyinovich of the Russian FSB, Twitter will ensure that only about 9 people see this so...
