Gvt urges business to invest in the community

GOVERNMENT has appealed to the business sector to plough back to the communities they are operating in order to eradicate poverty.

Speaking at the corporate social investment forum organised by the Corporate Social Responsibility Network in Harare, Labour and Social Welfare deputy minister Tapiwa Matangaidze said businesses have a huge responsibility to demonstrate positive influence on society.

“Without business stepping up to do more, we simply cannot create the Zimbabwe of zero poverty, zero hunger and zero emissions that everyone would benefit from,” Matangaidze said.
