‘Power key to attaining mining targets’

14

THE Chamber of Mines says the attainment of Zimbabwe’s target of a US$12 billion mining industry depends on the availability of adequate power.
This comes amid revelations that the sector recorded a significantly subdued performance during the fourth quarter of 2022, largely due to acute power cuts in the country.
Zimbabwe’s heavy load-shedding has seen many businesses endure up to 18 hours a day without electricity, a situation that business leaders say is causing great damage to the economy.
