Mining sector in shambles

Mines and Energy Parliamentary Portfolio Committee chairperson Lovemore Matuke has said the country’s mining sector is in a shambles and needed an urgent policy overhaul as the country’s mineral resources had failed to make an impact on the economy.

Matuke said this in Harare yesterday during a Zimbabwe Environmental Law Association multi-stakeholder policy impact review meeting with legislators and other stakeholders.

He also said the laws governing the mining sector in the country were inconsistent and were responsible for shying away investors.
