Return of Anjin To Marange Diamond Fields: the blindside of Zimbabwe is open for business agenda

Government is on the overdrive to attract investment to stimulate desperately needed socio- economic development. Since Zimbabwe is endowed with huge mineral wealth, mining is the heart beat of the “Zimbabwe is open for business” mantra.By nature, mining is a capital-intensive business.

A mantra that the President seizes every opportunity to tell, to rebrand and prime the country for economic growth that delivers jobs and quality service delivery – an upper middle income by 2030. But, how open is Zimbabwe for business?To explore this question and to perhaps proffer alternative policy and practice reforms for making a point that charity begins at home on ease of doing business reforms, attention is paid to artisanal and small-scale…See More
