Conspiracy ruled out in Byo companies closure
Prosper Ndlovu
ZANU-PF Politburo member and national secretary for production and labour Cde Dzikamai Mavhaire says there is no conspiracy behind the closure of Bulawayo companies and their relocation to Harare.
In an interview with Chronicle in Lupane on Thursday, Cde Mavhaire said the demise of Bulawayo’s economy should be viewed in the context of economic viability, which should not be mixed with politics.
The city has in the past few years witnessed the closure of close to 100 companies with some relocating to Harare, leaving thousands jobless.
Cde Mavhaire, however, admitted that while Bulawayo remains the country’s favourable industrial centre given its inherent economic advantages, things were not all rosy in the firms.
“Yes the issue of the closure of Bulawayo companies is at stake. You need to understand that industries were not established in Bulawayo by accident. It was out of realisation that the city has a good market and is closely linked to South Africa for transportation of raw materials and trade.France bombs Mali rebels
