Gold deliveries plunged in the first quarter

Tafaranashe Takavada

Zimbabwe gold output for the first quarter of the year slumped to 11,4 tonnes from 13.1 tonnes produced the same period last year, statistics from Fidelity Gold Refineries (FGR) revealed.

According to FGR, the first five months of 2023, small scale miners delivered 7 tonnes of yellow metal compared to 8.5 tonnes in 2022.
During the same period, large-scale miners delivered 4,4 tonnes compared to 4,6 tonnes last year.

This year the country targets to surpass last year's 35 tonnes to 40 tonnes of gold output.

In January, Zimbabwe produced almost 1.9 tonnes of gold compared to almost 2.8 tonnes in 2022, whereas February gold deliveries were stagnant at 1,895 tonnes before improving to 2,403 tonnes in March and declining to 2,376 tonnes in April 2023.
The gold output growth was jeopardised by several hurdles, including the worsening power crisis, high taxes and inconsistency legal framework.

In an exclusive interview with The Buziness Review, Midlands Miners Forum Chairperson Edgar Benjamin attributed the decline to factors that include lack of modern equipment and Rainfall patterns (climate changes) among other issues.

“Most of our Artisanal Miners are not equipped with mining knowledge and mining equipment. As the time is moving in a more technological world, the government should also bring in better mining methods and provide better mining equipment to the majority of Artisanal Miners as they contribute a lot in the gold production.

“Mining during the rainfall season reduces the activities in the opencast mining and this can be attributed as one of the leading factors which has affected our gold output. In 2022 the rains stopped in February which led to Artisanal Miners go back to their mining activities early and in 2023 season the rains went up to April so this led to the decline of gold output. And now because the rains have stopped, we are seeing a lot of increase in the gold mining activities,” he said.

In addition, “Gold production dropped as most of the produce got channeled through black market as artisanal small-scale miners fail to acquire mining certificate,” said The Zimbabwe prospectors union ZPU president Samson Dzingwe.

However, in the month of May gold deliveries increased by 21%, registering 2875 tonnes from 2376 tonnes in March clocking the highest output so far in the first five months of the year.
Large scale miners significantly improved with 1.069 tonnes, while small scale miners clocked 1.805 tonnes in the same month.
The small-scale miners are the largest contributors to FGR, with government and the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe spearheading different schemes and mechanisms to support efficient production of the yellow metal in the mining sector.

In October 2019 Zimbabwean government launched an ambitious plan to transform the mining sector into a US$12 billion export industry by the end of 2023.

The target would represent a 275% upwards trend from the US$3,2 billion realised through exporting mining commodities in 2018 as the government envisaged the mining industry as a key pillar to sustainable economic growth.

The blueprint targeted gold output of US$4 billion per year with platinum expected to rack in US$3 billion.

Diamond mining and polishing was set at US$1 billion, equal to the combined target of chrome, nickel and steel, coal, hydrocarbons, lithium and other minerals were projected to contribute the remaining US$3 billion.

Jinjika scores big at Megafest awards

By Business Review Reporter
She came, she saw, and she conquered, this statement can describe Ashleigh Tapiwa Jinjika, Masvingo City council's first ever Public Relations officer's exploits in the communication world. A retired journalist with 3 children. She is an alma mater of Midlands State University and Great Zimbabwe University. Holder of an Honours Degree in Media and Society Studies and a Masters in Strategic Management.

Jinjika was recently awarded the Female executive of the year at the recently held Megafest award ceremony held in Masvingo. The award is a sign that indeed hard work and determination pays off as Jinjika won the award barely 3 years of handling the Masvingo City council's corporate and public image. Business Review caught up with Jinjika and she gave an insight to her amazing career.

" Ashleigh has more than a decade of public relations experience. Among the highlights of my career, is that I learnt the ropes from a state-owned newspaper stable New Ziana, where I rose through ranks from being an intern, reporter, chief reporter to the position of an editor in 2013 before leaving the scribes profession," she said.
Journalism world over is regarded as a noble profession and not for the faint hearted and she left the profession after scooping several awards in the media industry.

"I later worked for an internationally recognized university - Midlands State University as Information and Public Relations officer before joining the City of Masvingo as the first Communications and Public Relations Officer in 2020. During this period, looked after the brand and image. Today, as the City of Masvingo's Communications and Public Relations Officer, i am responsible for the stakeholder relations and assessment of public attitudes.

" This award holds a special meaning to me. It is my fifth award, and this really means a lot as far as my career path is concerned. That was a special recognition by Megafest.," she said. For someone who traded pen and paper for public relations Jinjika believes every career has its highs and lows, and she remain focused and professional to overcome obstacles.

"Our society still has limitations for the girl child, stereotypes, harassment in the different fields, occupational hazards, I say to the next generation to follow your dreams and don't let the other gender intimidate you. Who says the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon? You can do it, girl" Jinjika said.

Farmers the next Zim Millionaires

By Buziness Review Repoter
The next set of millionaires will emerge from productive farmers who are maximasing their pieces of land and contributing towards Zimbabwe's food security, a government official has said.
The sentiments were shared by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture Davis Marapira after being impressed by Chimombe family's production at their 890 hector farm in Masvingo.
Chimombe Arundel farm was purchased in 1981 and over the years the family has managed to transform the farm into a role model for other farmers in Masvingo province .

The farm is a hive of activities with a thriving poultry projects with over 400 chickens both indiginous and broilers, a strong 300 herd of commercial cattle breeds , sheeps, goats rearing and crop production to complete the entire farming businesss circle.
It was no surprise that the farm was this year's toast for being innovative and selected to host a field day as one of the exemplary farms in Masvingo.
With a cattle disease, January disease ravening the province, the farm has not been affected by the outbreak owed to the owners' innovation and determination in ensuring that commercial aspect of beef production is preserved.
Takwana Chimombe the brains behind the farm's success told Buziness Review that annually the farm is having a turn over in excess of US$10 000 through the sell of their cattle.
The cattle breeding project was started in 2016 and has mananged to sustain other farming activities on the farm to be were it is today.
This year alone the farm is expected to deliver above 300 tonnes of maize from 85 hectors.

"What we are witnessing here is the ideal farming model that every farmer should emulate and start to view farming as business.

"People will start to say a lot of things when one becomes successful, let me assure you that everyone who is committed in ensuring the food security of the country inline with government vision for 2030 will be the next millionaires," Marapira said.
He added that goverment is coming up with a irrigation canal pipe line from Lake Mutirikwi to Matezva dam in the next six months, and urged the Chimombe family to utilise the opportunity and start irrigation and fishery projects, adding to their already existing farming initiatives.
