CNRG calls for redefinition of sustainable mining

The Centre for Natural Resource Governance (CNRG) programmes manager Tracy Mutowekuziva has called for a  redefinition of sustainable mining for the country to derive more benefits from its mineral resources.

There has been a push away from the extractive model of local mining to value addition to maximise Zimbabwe’s vast natural resources as it is the country’s main foreign currency earner.

Speaking following the South African mining conferences, the African Mining Indaba and the 16th edition of the Alternative Mining Indaba (AMI), Mutowekuziva said there was a disconnect between businesses and human rights approaches in mining.
