The problem of property invasion by gold panners is an ongoing issue in Zimbabwe. The incident at the NUST campus is just one example of this larger problem.Fortunately, the family narrowly escaped death in that incident.
The Rusike family were not aware that they had been residing above a mining tunnel for an extended period.
They became aware of the mining activities underground when they started hearing noises and wisely decided to evacuate the house. Part of their house collapsed into the tunnel after they had vacated the premises.
