Zimbabwe last week attended the Mining Indaba in Cape Town, South Africa, and meaningful engagements with potential investors were held, a Cabinet minister has said.
Mines and Mining Development Minister Winston Chitando led the Zimbabwe delegation.
In a post-Cabinet briefing on Tuesday, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa said the Zimbabwe pavilion attracted a large number of investors and visitors.
“Cabinet would like to advise the public that the conference was attended by more than 6 000 delegates, surpassing the attendances recorded at the two previous indabas. Lots of state-of-the-art equipment was on display, while the conference also afforded the Zimbabwe delegation the chance to engage investors and other mining stakeholders,” she said.
“The minister held meetings with some of his regional counterparts as well as the potential investors.
“These included the current president of the African Diamond Producers Association (ADPA), who is also the Tanzanian Minister of Mines (Doto Biteko),” she said.
Minister Mutsvangwa said a Kimberly Process (KP) Certification Assessment team is in the country and will hold meetings with President Mnangagwa today, among other engagements.
