PAN-AFRICAN cement maker, PPC says its Zimbabwean operation traded ahead of projections during the six months ended September 30, 2021, with sales volumes rising by 19%.

On Monday, the firm said demand in the country was robust during the period, with government-funded infrastructure projects also underpinning the growth.

PPC Zimbabwe operates a clinker plant at Colleen Bawn in West Nicholson and milling plants in Bulawayo and Harare, and is part of a bigger empire whose headquarters is in South Africa.
