<p>State broadcaster ZBC said that 38 miners were trapped while the state-run Herald newspaper put the number at 23.2</p>
<p>Reports say the gold miners went underground near the town of Kadoma before heavy rains destroyed a dam wall, resulting in massive flooding.</p>

<p>Police said that rescue teams and pumps to drain the water have been mobilised.</p>
<p>Large groups of men, women and children using picks, shovels and hoes are a common sight in Zimbabwe’s mineral-rich minefields.</p>
<p>The miners operate without regulation and safety standards are virtually non-existent.</p>
<p>Illegal mining has become rampant in a country where many people are unemployed.</p>
