Residents of Nkandabwe are demanding the immediate closure of Collum Coal Mine in Sinazongwe District Southern Province, following continuous accidents at the company.
The residents who claim to have lost many relatives in mine accidents, have urged government to establish the cause of the accidents at the mine.
This came to light when Sinazongwe Member Of Parliament Gift Sialubalo visited the area to appreciate the many challenges people of Nkandabwe are facing.
Recently, a miner was crushed to death while working underground.
