Responses to “Hope, tree roots and leaves kept trapped miners going”

We thank God that the artisanal miners were rescued at Redwing Mine in Penhalonga after spending four days trapped undergroun­d when part of their shaft collapsed. —@Mhishi

Glory be to God! When humans had lost all hope of finding any of the 15 miners alive, God’s merciful hand saved the artisanal miners from the jaws of death. — @Godmercy

I am so excited the 15 artisanal miners were rescued. We should strengthen our undergroun­d rescue support teams.— @BenG

The ground was still unstable and hopes to rescue the artisanal miners were getting faint. Oh! Merciful and gracious God thank you. God’s miracles at work. — @keeptheFai­th

“We followed cracks, opening them until we came closer to the surface. We sought refuge at the far corner of the shaft when the mine was collapsing,” a survivor said. We were eating the roots of trees and leaves to survive. We would taste the roots before eating. That resulted in us surviving. There are many cracks down there and the ground is not safe. We also survived due to teamwork.”Prayer, teamwork and faith kept the spirits of the artisanal miners alive. — @Teamwork

Thank you Lord for rescuing the artisanal miners. Glory to you! — @ Godmercy

Responses to “Children of missing Borrowdale couple still appealing for help to locate parents”

So sad to learn about the disappeara­nce of the Borrowdale couple, Mr Gus Spartas and his wife Elector Mupfumisi who went missing in June 2020, and had their vehicle, a Toyota Hilux double cab burnt to ashes. It’s so painful not find closure in the disappeara­nce of parents. – AchimDubs

What could have happened to this missing Borrowdale couple, Mr Gus Spartas and his wife Elector Mupfumisi? Four years on and no closure, it’s very sad. Let’s help them. —Jah Bless8

Lets help the children. They want closure to this matter. — GodHelpUs

RESPONSES to “Businesses urged to install pavement bins”

Businesses must comply with the regulation­s to help keep our city clean. The fines must be heavy to force business shop owners to comply. — Changa Welele

The public too must support efforts to clean up our city by desisting from littering the streets. Maintainin­g a clean environmen­t is a collective responsibi­lity. — Masinyane VB

The same mindset should be seen in individual households, where a prevailing culture of tidiness should prevail, achieved through the reduction, recycling, or reuse of waste. I agree with this — Sisonke K
