Harare: A blast at a gold mine in Zimbabwe has killed seven people. Six of them are Chinese nationals. The incident took place on Thursday in the Mazowe district of Zimbabwe.
The mine is located about 50 km from the capital city of Harare. The gas cylinders stored here were found to have exploded. A Zimbabwean man was seriously injured in the incident. He is being treated at a hospital.
