Sanitary wear company faces closure

Zimbabwe’s sole sanitary wear manufacturer, Farai, faces closure due to viability problems, permanent secretary in the Ministry of Women and Youth Affairs, Sibusisiwe Zembe, has said.

The revelations came at a time when MDC legislator Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga on Tuesday introduced a motion in the National Assembly calling on government to avail foreign currency to the company to enable it to import raw materials to manufacture sanitary wear.

Zembe appeared before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Women and Youth chaired by Misihairabwi-Mushonga to speak on her ministry’s 2018 budget bids.
