Gaths Mine is a settlemet that grew around an asbestos mine that’s located 40 km west of the city of Masvingo, in Mashava, Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe. Gaths Mine town grew around a collective combination of the three mines Gaths Mine, King Mine and Temeraire Mine.
Background:
The mine once employed around 1,500 people but as it stands, production has been stopped due to operational challenges. A few employees are left at the mine doing general maintenance.
The mine was first hit by the international drive against the use of asbestos. This saw the mine investing lots of money in marketing its type of asbestos white asbestos which is said to be kinder than the blue asbestos.
