It seems Ghana as a country is really losing the fight against illegal small-scale mining, commonly known as galamsey, as the menace continues to destroy the country's forest reserves and water bodies.
Not even the home of Ghana's first President, Osagyefo Dr. , who is regarded as the founder of the country, has been spared from the menace.
Aerial footage of Dr.
Nkrumah's home at Nkroful in the Western Region, which is now a mausoleum, shows illegal mining happening right behind it.
