If these deaths don't serve as a deterrent to these galamseyers why should we be worried about them. Kill all galamseyers before they kill us and our generations yet unborn.

Incident reported to the Police to do what? Are they expected to go down a deep abandoned mine to look for the victims? The galamseyers actually carried out blasting underground? Has anyone heard of the expression "canary in a mine"? Ridiculous! They obviously had no respect for their own lives.
Mining companies have Mine Rescue Gangs, specially trained to carry out search and rescue, which is one of the most risky aspects of mining. In this our lawless country of Galamseyland, the galamseyers have buried themselves very deep down. Poetic justice. Because, deep down, they were good citizens of this our Galamseyland! Good riddance!
NDC PROMISED TO ALLOW GALAMSEY 3 weeks ago

We should be fair. In the lead up to the 2024 elections, didn’t the NDC promise to allow these galamseyers to carry on with their activities?

It is only the FOOLS who doesn't change his mind. If JM has promised them and later realised that it may cause more harm than good, why can't we change that decisions?

Government must give mine to s well financially resourced company to run the place.
So much public relations by Heath and no money to run the underground operations.
More than 350 Million US Dollars needed to revive underground and build a new plant in Prestea.
Heath does not have that money
NDC cannot save Kwabena Duffpur get Chinese or credible investors to stop all the noise from that place.

Growing up, we never thought of doing any mining, but we organize communal weeding group. We weed and get paid which we did not destroy the environment.

I am so much pained that we are talking about just 6 deaths. I very much wish and pray the number goes above 100.
At least, if government's efforts are not working fast enough, we thank God that nature is offering a helping hand.
Idiotic criminals. They destroy the environment with impunity and endanger the lifes of everyone. As if that is enough, when they return to the community, they misbehave grossly.
May they continue to die in great numbers in the mighty name of Jesus.
Somebody say amen.
