𝐄𝐔𝐑𝐎 𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐋-𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐄 𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐉𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐘𝐔𝐌𝐁𝐄 Yumbe District has taken a major step in Uganda’s mineral development journey with the launch of the Euro Gold Small-Scale Mining Project, strengthening efforts to formalise artisanal and small-scale mining and promote responsible exploitation of Uganda’s mineral resources. State Minister for Mineral Development Phiona Nyamutoro said the launch demonstrates Government’s commitment to developing the mineral sector under NDP IV. She noted that Yumbe and Zombo are among gold-rich areas in West Nile and urged Euro Gold to comply with the law, create jobs and internships, support communities and progressively move into medium- and large-scale mining. She reaffirmed Government’s resolve to close illegal mining operations and called for improved safety, insurance and healthcare for miners. Euro Gold CEO Ben Feni said the company spent more than two years surveying and exploring the area before securing its mining ground. Its operations cover about 79 square kilometres across West Nile, with Yumbe as its pioneer site. The company targets production of at least 20kg of gold per week and plans to establish a processing plant to strengthen traceability and accountability. “We are going to build our nation,” Feni said. Assimwe Kenneth, CEO of the Uganda Association of Artisanal and Small-Scale Miners, commended Euro Gold and Government for supporting formalisation. He urged communities to keep children in school and out of mining, encouraged the use of PPE and called for accessible insurance schemes for small-scale miners. Tusigwire Julius, Head of the Mineral Police Unit, said the unit, established in 2017, is responsible for combating illegal mining, mineral smuggling, fraud and forced labour. He revealed that more than 15 illegal mining sites have been closed this year, while raising concern over recent deaths in illegal mining sites. Eng. Grace Nakku, from the Office of the Commissioner, Minerals and Energy Department, said responsible mining is key to attracting investment and growing Uganda’s mineral sector. She advised that only people aged 18 and above should enter mining sites and encouraged Euro Gold to scale up while continuing to support artisanal and small-scale miners. The launch reinforces Government’s commitment to a formal, safe, responsible and investment-driven mining sector that creates jobs, supports communities and contributes to Uganda’s economic transformation.

"I came to the South African Embassy in Japan and experienced xenophobia." You are Zimbabwean. Living in Japan. Using a South African driver's license. And you went to the South African Embassy ..; not the Zimbabwean Embassy ..; to get help. And when they couldn't help you, you called it xenophobia? You are a Zimbabwean national ..; not South African. You obtained a South African driver's license ..; while you were in South Africa. You are now in Japan ..; and you went to the South African Embassy for assistance. The embassy told you they couldn't verify your license ..; because they don't provide consular services for foreign nationals. Sis, that's not xenophobia. That's the law. The South African Embassy is there to serve South African citizens ..; not Zimbabweans, not Nigerians, not anyone else. You didn't go to the Zimbabwean Embassy. You didn't use Zimbabwean documents. You didn't follow the proper process. You expected South Africa to help you ..;even though you are not South African. And when they didn't, you cried xenophobia. This is the entitlement we are talking about. You used South Africa to study. You used South Africa to get a license. You used South Africa as a bridge to Japan. And now you want South Africa to help you in Japan too? Why didn't you use your Zimbabwean documents? Why didn't you go to the Zimbabwean Embassy? Why didn't you follow the proper process? Because you know the Zimbabwean system doesn't work. You know South Africa is the only country that will help you. And when they didn't, you blamed them. South Africa is not your personal stepping stone. It is not your bridge to the world. It is a country with laws – and those laws apply to everyone, including you. Go to the Zimbabwean Embassy. Use your Zimbabwean documents. Follow the proper process.
