‘Mines ministry must embrace technology’ - January 18, 2021
Mining is the backbone of the country’s economy, accounting for more than 60% of export earnings. However, there is a school of thought to the effect that the Mines and Mining Development ministry is not doing enough to turn the abundance of mineral resources into revenue. Masvingo businessman and miner
Taguma Benjamin Mazarire (TBM) discussed different issues pertaining to mining with
NewsDay (ND) reporter Thomas Chidamba.
ND: What do you think should be done for the Mines and Mining Development ministry to operate efficiently?
TBM: The ministry should consider embracing a computerised mining cadastre system to improve the ministry’s efficiency and reliability such as processing of applications for mining claims, monitoring progress on each mining claim and repossess idle mining concessions to trigger mining productivity.
