KWEKWE Mayor Councillor Matenda Madzoke has said the city is being shunned by investors because of false reports suggesting that infrastructure in the city was at risk due to disused mining tunnels below the central business district.
Madzoke said prospective investors are now shunning the gold mining town due to false reports that it was sitting on a time bomb.
He, however, said Kwekwe was a safe destination for any kind of investment.
The mayor said since the false reports started circulating about four years ago, no infrastructure had collapsed into the so called disused mine tunnels. He said not all areas in Kwekwe have underground tunnels and not every area is exposed to mining activities.
