in 2014 revealed that no children were directly affected by dust from the mine blasting and there are no records to that effect. 7.9. The majority of complainants are willing to be relocated to some other areas that are fit for human habitation and with more favourable conditions, far away from the negative effects of mine blasts. 8. Recommendations Environmental Management Agency 8.1. EMA should conduct regular monitoring exercises to monitor the actual levels of dust emitted during blasting and ascertain if it is within the normally stipulated levels. 8.2. EMA should ensure that the mine comes up with blasting methods with minimum dust emissions. 8.3. EMA should ensure that the mine puts more dust measuring devises at various places to monitor dust levels at all times and display the results to the affected parties with full interpretation. Murowa Diamond Mine 8.4. The Mine should facilitate the relocation of affected community members to areas that are fit for human habitation far away from the mine blasts. The relocated people should be provided with safe accommodation. This is important because even though the technical reports suggest that the blasting and dust levels have no impact on the health of the community members, the effects of both clearly have an impact on the wellbeing of the community members as they are constantly exposed to the dust and noise pollution. The effects may not have an immediate impact but in the long term impact can be considered. Ministry of Environment, Water and Climate 8.5. The Ministry of Environment, Water and Climate in collaboration with EMA should engage with Murowa Diamond Mine to prevent and mitigate the risk of dust pollution caused by the mining activities at the mine.
