The residents of Esaase, a farming community in the Juaben municipality of the Ashanti Region, have come together to reject mining activities at their iconic waterfalls site, citing concerns over environmental degradation and water pollution.
This decision follows reports of individuals approaching the community to discuss potential mining operations in the area.
The residents have vowed to do everything possible to protect the waterfalls, emphasising that mining activities near the area would likely destroy the tourist site.
In an interview with OTEC News Reporter Kwame Agyenim Boateng on Monday, the residents expressed their determination to safeguard the site.
