“What annoys us most is that, the queen mother doesn’t respect anybody in this town. And now she has connived with some of the sub chiefs and sold our only cemetery for that activities.”

“The illegal miners knowing very well that their activities are illegal and unwanted in the town work at nights. They have exhumed some graves in search for gold. But is that a good for act, and where will we even seek medical treatment when there is disease breakout in the town?. He rhetorically asked.
