Boost for small-scale chrome miners

THE Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) has secured a major partnership with Dinson Iron and Steel Company (Disco), which will see the Chinese-owned firm becoming an official off-taker and machinery supplier for small-scale chrome miners. 

Speaking during a tour of Disco’s Manhize Steel Plant in Mvuma at the weekend, ZMF president Henrietta Rushwaya said the deal was a game-changer, which provided a reliable market and the much-needed machinery to boost productivity. 

She said Disco agreed to buy chrome directly from small-scale miners and supply them with affordable equipment.
