@begottensun@DavidColtart@JMafume In Bulawayo it seems possible largely due to relatively low human and vehicular traffic, and to some extent a naturally more 'responsible' Ndebele culture!
You wouldn't find a Cbd street in harare this empty!
Nevertheless, Harare needs to do more!
Apart from Varun and Innscor, Delta will soon have more competition in the drinks business - this time from East Africa.
Delta currently holds a strong market share in both soft drinks and beer. Sales for both beverages are at record highs, attracting new players.
DELTA Corporation says the outcome of its US$97 million tax dispute with the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority will be critical to the company’s future growth, with management warning that settling the liability could force the company to scale back expansion plans. >https://t.co/FW7OIKJ38O
Zimbabwe🇿🇼 eyes $21 billion mineral export boom as mining firms prepare massive hiring drive
Zimbabwe’s🇿🇼 mining industry is preparing for one of its biggest hiring waves in years, with the sector projected to create up to 100,000 new jobs over the next five years as foreign investment pours into gold, lithium, platinum and chrome projects.
Zimbabwe Declares Lithium, PGMs, Gold Among Strategic Minerals.
Zimbabwe has officially classified lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite, copper, rare earths, chrome and PGMs as Critical Minerals, while gold, diamonds, coal, iron ore and oil & gas were designated Strategic Minerals under a new mineral classification framework announced on 22 May 2026.
The policy introduces mandatory State participation through SPVs, restricts raw mineral exports, and requires ministerial approval for mining rights and beneficiation plans.
Government will take up “a mandatory minimum shareholding” in minerals such as lithium and platinum under new rules announced today.
Mines Minister Polite Kambamura has classified minerals into 3 groups: Critical minerals (eg lithium, platinum) special critical minerals, and strategic minerals (eg gold).
• Small-scale mining is now reserved for locals. A small scale mine is an operation below 20kg of gold per month, or investing below US$15 million. Foreign miners must upgrade to these levels by January 2027.
• At least 98% of senior and middle management at all mines must be Zimbabwean
📍 Government already has a model for stakes in key mines: it holds a free 15% stake in the Karo Platinum project, with an option to buy another 11%.
