The women who make a living selling 'vim' at Bikita Minerals along the road to Mutare say they require properly-built markets. Incessant rains linked to Cyclone Freddy disrupted much of their business this year. Much of the merchandise also got spoilt in the rain.
2/2 Bikita Minerals was acquired by Chinese company Sinomine in early 2022. There has been a massive surge in production at the mine over the past year. It currently produces an average 10 000 tonnes of lithium-bearing petalite for export mainy to China and Japan.
1/2 Bikita Minerals is building new classroom block-like hostels for its workers. The blocks are subdivided into several small rooms. Complaints are that the accommodation is not fit for purpose, and are inhuman as they do not support a decent family unit.
Zimbabwe, which suffers severe energy poverty, cites the need for a just energy transition, and has said it won't be stampeded into ditching coal by rich countries that developed on coal themselves. @The_SARWatch
Much has been said about solar energy, but it's coal that's taking further root: Hwange Thermal Power Station Unit 7 is now online. Work on Unit 7 & 8 began 4 years ago; March 2019. But 8 years later, the Gwanda Solar Plant remains a pipe dream.
