Mugabe’s full statement on shift in indigenisation policy

President Robert Mugabe on Tuesday announced a new policy on indigenisation which most people thought was a major shift from the hardline stance that the government had so far insisted on.

The country’s indigenisation law requires that at least 51 percent of all foreign companies with a value of $500 000 and above to be in local hands.

The government has been forcing foreign companies to comply with this law and to come up with a timeline to fulfill this requirement.

Here is Mugabe’s statement in full.
