Information attained by igihe.com indicate that Viatuer, Jean Manirarora and only identified as Ndayamaje were rescued at 2:20 pm as combined efforts from residents, police and the army hurried to save their lives.<\/p>\n
Even one of them had a cell phone, there was no communication due lack of power on his phone\u2019s battery.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one was traumatized, no psychological distress, no injury. It was just a miracle,\u201d Gabriel Rulinda the Managing Director of Rwanda Rudniki mining company has said by his cell phone.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, soils fell from the hills and covered the entrance and exit of the a coltan mine in Nyarusange Sector, Muhanga District in Southern Province four men surviving while other three remaining covered in the mining tunnel.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the scene in Nyarusange sector where the mine is situated Beatrice Uwamariya the sector\u2019s Executive Secretary told igihe.com that rescue mission involved police, the army and the residents who worked tirelessly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe worked since yesterday and the rain interrupted and after sun set it was dark and we left, we came back very early in the morning to continue with the rescue mission. They spent the whole night inside the mining tunnel, thank God they came out alive,\u201d Uwamariya said by phone.<\/p>\n
Uwamaliya said that the rescue team used different tools like spades to remove the soil that had covered both entrance and exit tunnel.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey told us they had morale and had hope they would be rescued because they heard people talking and doing something to rescue them,\u201d Uwamariya said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey all looked ok and the rescue mission went very successful, they have finished taking some food and drinks,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
An effort to speak to one of the three rescued members was fruitless as they were not in a position to speak to the press at the time.<\/p>\n
In case of any damage, Rulinda said that all miners in his company are protected and insured with CORAR insurance company and that they would be compensated if any damage occurred.<\/p>\n
