BBC reports that 16000 illegal miners have been arrested in Zimbabwe. Though I know safety is a major issue with shallow mines and no government control on the mines, these people don't need jail, they need a job and a source of income. The Zim government needs to do more than burn peoples' houses and arrest them. They ought to get their act together and promote a solid economy for the people rather than for Mugabe and his cronies!
