It is reported that one of the illegal diamond miners in Marange, Zimbabwe, miraculously escaped death after being bombarded by security officer Mbada Diamonds.
Zimbabwean publishes the words of the victim Walter Munyanari, who was injured after being caught for illegal mining of diamonds.
"I planned to carry out illegal mining of diamonds, and two guards shot me in the face, I managed to escape and go home, now they are giving me medical help," he said. "I do not regret my actions, as I can not find a job in Zimbabwe, And I went for it out of desperation. "I need to support my family."
Zimbabwe is currently facing an accelerating recession, Which is manifested in deflation and in the decline of employment.
Analysts say that the unemployment rate in the country is now around 80%, although the official Harare rejects these assumptions.
Meanwhile, Munyanari claims that he gave bribes to guards for the possibility of mining diamonds in the so-called "red zones".
"We became a reliable source of income for security guards and officials of diamond mining companies who demanded money from us to move in the red zones," he said. "The miners, especially in Mbada Diamonds, work a lot harder, while paying security guards for access to Diamond fields.The only problem arises when patrols catch you, as in my case. "
The government of Zimbabwe recently said that diamond mining licenses for companies, Working in Marange, have expired.
The country's authorities plan to consolidate diamond mining companies and mines in the country to block the channels of illicit diamond exports and to increase revenues from the sale of rough diamonds.
