MP says Mnangagwa can revive Shabanie and Mashava mines through Command Mining

I was talking to one worker for ZMDC and he said ZMDC means Zimbabwe Mining Destruction Corporation. – [Laughter.] – That was his mind because he realised that it is not benefiting anyone. The mining industry per se, we must come up with a new vehicle that is going to benefit our miners because 4 000 miners are Zimbabweans. They are the sons and daughters of Zimbabwe and they can be able to benefit. There are many gold mines that are under ZMDC where people are going everyday during the night to do mining underground and come out early in the morning.

So, whenever there is a problem with a mine, we must look for a vehicle, a new company that looks after that mine and benefit the people. When you go to Zvishavane, like what the Hon. Member, mentioned, the infrastructure there is just in a sorry state. The roads have potholes all over and the houses have broken window panes. We must always value the infrastructure. That is why the Government put the Minister of Infrastructure. Infrastructure is the basis of development. Rome was not built in a day but it is standing on seven hills. What is standing on seven hills is the infrastructure which was built there by the Romans.

Mr. Speaker Sir, in conclusion I feel that we need to have a way forward. We need to have command mining. The Vice President is here, he succeeded in command farming and I think he is going succeed in command mining. – [HON. MEMBERS: Hear, hear.] – The first example must be Shabanie-Mashava Mine. I thank you Mr. Speaker Sir.
