they are misled, young ladies like her do travelled from the north to Kumasi and other place as porters to take care of their future. even though this is not ideal way of living due to lack of education they don't have other options. But the porter business is much safer than the Galamsey. its about time Akan girls think about this.

You idiots simply justify so many of you are not fit to be part of the human race. Poverty is a sin and not a tragedy. Look at these ugly poor street hawkers in Accra, it seems like there have a farm in all the villages outside Accra where they simply breed ugly people and send them to Accra to fend for themselves. Women with no jobs, education or any family support make babies like rats and then tie them on their backs to struggle for survival. Not even wild beasts in the jungle will stoop this low, and you blame government. Animal like you, when did poverty and joblessness start in Ghana?

How can the caving in of a pit rip open the stomach of a pregnant woman and throw out a foetus.

This looks more like a murder rather than a galamsey accident!

Well, the autopsy report should be able to prove if the injuries were human inflicted or caused by a galamsey accident!

This woman was sacrificed for ritual purposes. Galamsey operators engage in occultism in order to get more gold. They sacrifice sheep, cows and humans to pacify certain spirits to make maximum gain

Kwame Ata, even with my measly 2 brain cells, it's obvious to me it's a case of murder. The police ought to react on the assumption of murder before witnesses & evidence disappears

Corrupt and greedy politicians have turn the country now to what is popularly known as survival of the fittest. So sad to see 8months old pregnant women this way.

People..This really really annoys when you start pointing fingers about the state of our economy to the fault of a particular party or Government. People ghana and africa have had economic, corruption, income disparity,high rate of poverty poor government and mismanagement and selfishness since the beginning of time. Ghana and africa has had many political parties take powers and nothing have improve people lives....still a huge poverty. People stop being naive and open your eyes. I will take a person with common sense to rule Ghana any day over a person with a PHD.

I never knew one could carry an 8-month-old pregnancy until today. This indeed is a sad story but having three children at 25 years old and carrying a fourth?, no wonder she went to dig for gold. May she ras-kin- cheese.
