Chinese Gold Hunters Face Court in Botswana!

Four Chinese men, Qingxion Zhou, 45, Haiyan Xiong, 49, Goushen Xiong, 42, and Kaijin Zhou, 42, appeared in Masunga Magistrate Court, accused of unlawful possession of raw precious metals and prospecting without a license. They were nabbed near Sechele village while on a gold-hunting mission. The quartet had a successful treasure hunt in Kalakamati and were heading to a private farm in Sechele. Language barriers caused a courtroom delay, and the four men were remanded in custody for a bail ruling on Monday. https://thevoicebw.com/gold-diggers/?fbclid=IwAR1tMClGnPj4s0EWO7AF8iW0MGSnvxzRtUylxx_8R-jCZ_l_fkHNFwQ3gI8
