ZIMBABWE Prospectus Union (ZPU) has jumped to the defence of Mines Minister Winston Chitando after Fidelity Printers – a subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) – took the senior government official to court following a Kwekwe gold mine row.
Fidelity Printers recently dragged Chitando to court over a gold mining claim in Kwekwe, after government last year forfeited and reallocated it to Mirage 3 Mine.
Fidelity was in a joint partnership at the mine with former Herald editor, Caesar Zvayi.
However, in a High Court ruling made by Justice Joseph Mafusire last week, and Fidelity lost the dispute resulting in the mine’s ownership being transferred to Kwekwe miner, Jona Nyevera who was allocated the claim last year by the Mines Ministry.
