Mineral revolution started in F/town - Masisi

Speaking at the first anniversary of his presidency, Masisi implored Francistowners to celebrate that part of their history and, however, stressed that any revolution has casualties. 

“You have been casualties of the mining revolution and continue to be casualties as you don’t have land,” Masisi said to loud applause from his audience.  He said amongst early miners who came to exploit their land was the man Daniel Francis after whom the city is named.
