Artisanal and small scale gold mining ASGM is present in over 80 countries employing about 15 million miners and serving as source of livelihood for millions more The sector is estimated to be the largest emitter of mercury globally The Minamata Convention on Mercury seeks to reduce and where feasible eliminate mercury use in the ASGM However
Zimbabwe is perhaps the only country whose colonisation by Europeans was a direct result of its perceived rich and wide variety of gold deposits The Portuguese occupied parts of the country in the 17th century and traded in gold with local miners Following the accounts of the Portuguese and information gathered by 19th century explorers and hunters a lot of

Abstract While the rural development consequences of Zimbabwe s Fast Track Land Reform Programme have been heavily debated there is a dearth of literature focusing on the post land reform inter relations between artisanal and
Artisanal Gold Mining and Farming Livelihood Linkages and Labour Dynamics after Land Reforms in Zimbabwe
Artisanal and small scale mining ASM takes place under extreme conditions with a lack of occupational health and safety As the demand for metals is increasing due in part to their extensive use in green technologies for climate change mitigation the negative environmental and occupational consequences of mining practices are disproportionately felt in
The study investigated the role of small scale gold mining in promoting sustainable livelihoods among local communities in Kadoma District of Zimbabwe The sustainability of small scale gold mining is a contentious issue given the level of environmental degradation and the disruption of social relations taking place in the district
African Mining Vision 2017 revealed that Zimbabwe s artisanal and small scale mining activities started around the 15th Century when the Mutapa Committee used to trade gold with small scale gold mines use simple mining tools
The introduction of mercury Hg into the environment by anthropogenic activities has resulted in negative implications for ecosystem functions and human health Unlike the legacy of huge environmental pollution left by historic gold rushes in several developed countries gold rich nations in the developing world are currently witnessing what could qualify
This article explores the dynamics of a rural transformation process triggered by the dramatic growth of Zimbabwe s Artisanal and Small scale Gold Mining ASGM sector The paper argues that despite its informality ASGM has become a key part of Zimbabwe s largely informal economy and has created employment opportunities for the rural and urban
