@baba_nyenyedzi Vendors are city council inexcesses. Vending was there since time back then but council would provide vending space in an orderly fashion. The population is growing and MAFUME is not seeing this. These vendors are a keen sign of locals trying to become part of the economy.

SIGNS OF ECONOMIC GROWTH IN EVERY SECTOR

Varichem Pharmaceuticals is currently operating at above 70% capacity utilisation, reflecting growing demand for pharmaceutical products and boosting local content production.

Despite supplying local demand, Varichem is also exporting a wide range of pharmaceutical products to our neighbours; Botswana, South Africa, and Zambia, raising our flag high in the region. So far, Varichem has invested in excess of USD3 million towards plant & machinery upgrades to enhance production, product quality and improve compliance with the required international manufacturing standards.

This investment will enhance Varichem's competitiveness in both domestic and export markets. Permanent Secretary Amb. T. Chifamba toured the manufacturing and production facilities. Amb. T. Chifamba commended Varichem Pharmaceuticals for its continued investment in local manufacturing, export development, and contribution to Zimbabwe's pharmaceutical value chain. He reaffirmed the Ministry's commitment to engage relevant stakeholders & improve the operating environment for the local industry. He assured Varichem & other players in the sector of strengthened collaboration between Government & industry. He also underscored the importance of the pharmaceutical sector in advancing Zimbabwe's industrialisation agenda.

STRENGTHENING ZIMBABWE'S ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT FRAMEWORK

Today, Hon. Minister N.M. Ndhlovu is presenting before a joint Parliament Portfolio Committee on Industry & Commerce and the Thematic Committee on Indigenisation & Economic Empowerment, on progress made by the Second Republic in crafting the Economic Empowerment Bill.

The two Committees are getting an appreciation of the existing policies governing Reserved Sectors & Community Economic Empowerment Trust (CEETs), including their current operations & implementation timeless.

The Joint Committee is keen to appreciate the impact of CEETs & Reserved Sector policy on indigenous Zimbabweans participation in key sectors of the economy.

As Zimbabwe Industrialise towards Vision2030, no one and no place will be left behind. Zimbabweans will benefit more from their natural God-given resource endowments as the economy continues to grow brick by brick.

ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT HITS DIFFERENTLY IN ZIMBABWE. IT'S STABILITY, IT'S GROWTH AND IT'S THE FUTURE.

Consultations are underway across the nation with the objective to get insights and feedback on the Draft National Economic Empowerment Policy. This week, a stakeholder consultative workshop for the Draft Economic Empowerment Policy is rounding up in Manicaland Province. In line with Vision 2030, the Government under the Second Republic is focusing on developing sustainable, inclusive, and transformative mechanisms that drive citizen empowerment, accelerate rural industrialisation, and reduce poverty. The President, His Excellency Dr. E.D. Mnangagwa is always on record, reminding us as public servants to make sure that when we craft policies as Government, we "leave no one and no place behind." The workshop in Manicaland has enabled the Ministry to gather vital insights from grassroots entrepreneurs, traders, and large enterprises. Manicaland Province has the potential to contribute significantly towards the growth of the national economy because of its abundant natural resources, unique landscapes that attract tourism and proximity to a key trade route. As consultations continue in the provinces, the Ministry looks forward to fruitful deliberations that build an inclusive vibrant and broad-based economy for all Zimbabweans by 2030.
