The death of Moses Chako at Arcadia Technology Zimbabwe's lithium processing plant has highlighted safety issues in Goromonzi's lithium sector. Chako was killed in an accident involving a conveyor belt.

The incident has prompted community outrage over safety protocols and environmental hazards from nearby mining operations, including an abandoned well posing risks to local schoolchildren. Residents are frustrated with perceived regulatory inaction despite the area's rapid industrial growth driven by lithium demand for electric vehicle batteries.
