Dar es Salaam. One person has reportedly died after security guards and police
clashed with people suspected to be “armed intruders” in North Mara Gold Mine,
resulting into casualty and injuries.




Barrick Gold who is the main owner of the mine said in a statement that more
than 100 “illegal miners” trespassed into the mine, shortly before midnight on
November 30, 2022, and started seizing material from stockpile and sabotaging
property.

“More than 100 illegal miners, armed with machetes and spears, attempted to
scale North Mara Gold Mine’s three-metre-high perimeter wall,” the company
stated, adding that approximately 70 trespassers made their way onto the mine’s
premises.

“The unarmed private security contractors attempted to prevent the intrusion but
were attacked and overpowered by the armed trespassers,” it said.

“The mine then asked the police to enter the site to remove the intruders which
they did over a period of approximately one and half hours.”

According to the statement, one of the intruders was injured during the
operation and police transported him to a nearby hospital for treatment, where
he succumbed to the injuries.

According to the press release, two police officers were also injured during the
incident.

“The nature of the deceased’s injury and the cause of his death have not yet
been established, however an investigation of the incident will be requested
from the authorities by North Mara,” the statement concluded.




However, the police commander of Tarime/Rorya Special Zone, Godfrey Sarakikya
said only one police officer was injured, as he confirmed casualties.

“The injured police officer is faring well and he has been discharged already,”
Mr Sarakikya told The Citizen. He said the police were going on with the efforts
to search for the intruders so that they could face the full wrath of the law.

Last week, a group of Tanzanian villagers filed a suit in Canada against Barrick
Gold over alleged police killings, torture and other abuses at North Mara.

The company said the case had inaccuracies, denying having control over the
actions of the police who were accused in the complaints.
