Indigenisation under spotlight

The Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe says it is holding consultations with the government following the gazetting of the guidelines for the implementation of the Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Act a fortnight ago.

Mining companies have been given 45 days to submit their indigenisation plans to the government after which they would be expected to implement the agreed plan within six months.

Contacted for comment the mining body’s president Chris Hokonya was on Thursday mum on the way forward.
