Miners to Face Penalties for Failing Community Development Obligations

Mining companies operating in Zimbabwe will face legal penalties for failing to honour commitments made to host communities under the forthcoming Mines and Minerals Bill, Mines and Mining Development Minister Dr Polite Kambamura has said.

Speaking during a National Assembly Question-and-Answer session, Dr Kambamura acknowledged that while current laws require mining firms to consult local communities before commencing operations, existing regulations do not adequately compel companies to fulfil promises made.
