Nine people died tragically due to a landslide in an illegal mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and nine others injured when the miners set up ladders for descending into the mine. Jean Ruyange, the provincial minister of mines, had warned “barred entry into the site since January. We found a risk of landslide.”
It is said that the miners were illegally digging for gold when the accident occurred.
Jean Ruyange admits that there should be taken extensive measures for avoiding such incidents.
