[Member of Parliament for Siamunene Richwell Siamunene has said]...Nkandabwe collum mine should compensate the displaced families following cracks from the mine tunnels which brought down their houses around the coal plant...Mr Siamunene said the mining company must take responsibility for failing to recognise the effects of its activities on the surrounding village by ensuring that the affected families and those that may [find] themselves in the same predicament were adequately compensated...“This is an indication that the mine owners did not do a proper assessment of the impact that those tunnels would create on the locals before starting their operations...[He added] “The families have not just been inconvenienced, but they have also been subjected to psychological trauma..."
