Article By: Diana Motsu


The old Monarch gold mine in Francistown has collapsed, and residents, particularly those near the Monarch area, are being warned to stay away from the site.


Member of Parliament for Francistown West Ignatius Moswaane, spoke to Gabz FM News, revealing that the mine now contains deep, water filled holes, creating a serious hazard for both people and livestock.


He urged the public not to approach the area under any circumstances. Moswaane further explained that temporary safety barriers are being set up to secure the area


Moswaane also noted that past gold-mining activities, dating back about 10 years, may have contributed to the mine's collapse.
