After the tragedy had happened, the police continued their efforts together with other authorities to determine the exact number of miners involved in the accident. Some details are still unclear, but the focus is strongly aimed at saving possibly still enclosed persons. President Hakainde Hichilema expressed concern about the risks associated with illegal mining activities. He described the incident as very unfortunate and emphasized that the country could continue to lose people through these activities.

In the Mumbwa region, illegal mining practices are not uncommon, which leads to a growing risk of such incidents. The government is required to increasingly take measures to ensure the safety of miners and, if necessary, to prevent illegal mining activities. The emotional effects on the families concerned are enormous, and the question of the security of working conditions remains in the foreground.

In the next few days, further information about the number of those affected and about possible responsibilities in this tragedy will be announced. The Situation offers a difficult insight into the dangers with which many mining workers are faced with and also raises questions about regulating mining in the region.
