More
diamonds have been discovered in Budzi communal lands in Bikita near the
border with Manicaland Province. A consortium of Chinese and Zimbabwe firms
registered Nan Jiang Africa Resources Limited has already applied to the
Ministry of Mines and Mineral Rights for a license to start exploiting the
gems.
The
company has already started building offices and houses for its employees,
together with a plant. Also it has recruited over hundred workers from Bikita
and Buhera areas. The Mines and Mining Development Deputy Minister, Gift
Chimanikire confirmed that the Chinese company applied for mining rights.
According
to experts in minerals and miming, Zimbabwe is likely to be seen consolidating
its position as one of the top world diamond producers.
It’s
important to note that this is a new treasure that can help boost the country`s
economy which is not doing so well. This can also raise the question if really
the country and the population at large will really benefit, or also, was
giving a Chinese company mining rights a good move, what do u think? Lets
discuss
