Chitando appoints new boards for parastatals

MINES minister Winston Chitando yesterday named new boards for the Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Company (ZCDC) and the Zimbabwe Mining Development Corporation (ZMDC), amid strong calls on the parastatals to roll up their sleeves to realise their full potential.

“I have the pleasure to announce the two boards, the other being announced in the next couple of days.

“The President (Emmerson Mnangagwa) has talked about Zimbabwe being a middle income economy by 2030 and mining will play a very key role in the achievement of this vision and as a result these two boards will be seized with executing key government objectives,” Chitando said.
