Mineral exports top US$1 billion

by: Business Reporter

MINES and Mining Development Minister Obert Mpofu says Zimbabwe exported close to US$1 billion worth of minerals in the five months to May.
Mpofu said the performance of the mining sector since January affirmed projections by Finance Minister Tendai Biti that mining would grow by 40 percent this year.
Gold and other precious minerals, notably those in the platinum group of metals, drove the increase in the value of mineral exports.
The estimated value of mineral exports since January, however, excludes potential foreign exchange inflows from diamond exports, which remain banned over concerns of leakages.
The government decided to ban all diamonds exports from the country until controversies surrounding gems produced from the Chiadzwa-Marange fields in the eastern Manicaland province are resolved.
The Kimberly Process monitor for the country recently announced that minimum conditions needed to allow export of diamonds from the area had been met raising hopes that the export ban could be lifted.
Apart from Chiadzwa, Diamonds are also produced at Murowa Mine in Zvishavane and River Ranch in Beitbridge.
Since early last year, the value of mineral exports doubled when compared to the past two years when production suffered from macro-economic instability.
Mining is now of central importance to the economy, accounting for more than 50 percent of the national foreign exchange generation capacity while contributing about 16 percent to Gross Domestic Product.
The sector which was one of the worst affected by the economic crisis of the last decade with most operators either shutting down or scaling activities down to care and maintenance is firmly on the recovery path.
Most mining houses have resumed operations on the back of a liberalized local operating environment and better commodity prices on the world markets.

Kama mnakumbuka, Mugabe alitaifisha migodi yote na kuiuza kwa makampuni ambamo at least mmojawapo wa major shareholders ni mzimbabwe, halafu serikali inamiliki asilimia 40. Watu wa nje walipiga kelele sana na kudai kuwa hiyo ni seram mbaya ya madini, lakini naona inafanya kazi. halafu hapa Tanzania Kikwete anatuambia kuwa 3% tu ndiyo halai yetu na ni best deal pamoja na kuwa makamuni ya madini hayalipi kidi. Tutshangaa Zimbabwe iliyokuwa inadorola itakapoanza kutupa misaada. Nimesoma tena kuwa Air Zimbabwe inataka kuinunua Air Tanzania! Nadhani kuwa sasa wanaweza kuwa na uwezo huo!

pamoja na kelele zote zimbabwe tunaambiwa ni maskini lakini ina survive, asikudanganye mtu umaskini tunaoambiwa wanaowazimbabwe ni kwa vigezo vya wazungu vya GDP, si kweli hata kidogo, zimbabwe iko bettter off baaada ya kuwashugulikia wazungu kuliko walivyokua zamani na watarise sana! ni mfano wa kuigwa kwa nchi zote za dunia ya tatu, ila wenye kiherehere cha kukaribisha utandawazi kama sisi ndio tutalia sana uko baadae! we need mugabe of our own!

tunajifunza kuwa mtu mmoja anaweza kubadilisha nchi...
