A COWDRAY Park man who was employed as a security guard at a mine in West Nicholson died after about 100 illegal gold panners attacked the new owners of Geelong Mine.

Five people have since been arrested in connection with the murder which occurred last Tuesday. Matabeleland South police spokesperson Assistant Inspector, Nkosilathi Sibanda, identified the late security guard as Tariro Magovanyika.
A misunderstanding arose between the guards and the marauding amakorokoza, leading to the fatal attack.
Three of the guards: the now deceased, Tariro Magovanyika of Cowdray Park in Bulawayo and two others, Mthokozo Ncube and Ronald Ntini sustained serious injuries but managed to escape to the Bulawayo- Beitbridge highway.
Ncube and Ntini then reported the matter to the police.
A source revealeed to a local newspaper that the reason why the panners attacked the new owners was because they suspected that they were being dispossessed of their source of livelihood by people who had no legal documents to mine.
