Four gold panners at Arcturus Mine in Goromonzi were on Sunday morning left seriously injured after some security guards opened fire on them as the battle over the gold field rages on.

According to an eye witness, the panners were searching for the precious mineral outside the main mine shafts when security guards came and randomly opened fire.
“This area is outside the mine premises and the security guards often come to chase them away. Tragically, four people were shot and wounded after the security guards opened fire as they chased them away.
Fortunately no one died but the injured were taken to hospital,” said the eyewitness.
Despite the incident, some panners were still around the area digging for gold.
Meanwhile, gold rush panning in Goromonzi has resulted in a number of panners dead as they clash with security guards in the area.
Recently, rival gangs had running battles over ownership of the recently established illegal gold mines at Jongwe Farm in Goromonzi resulting in one panner being shot dead in the fracas.
The two gangs comprised one from Shurugwi and another from the local area. Jairos Saunyama Newsday
