Zimbabwe banned foreign companies and individuals from small-scale gold mining in a move aimed at protecting local jobs and benefitting the domestic economy.

All foreign investors and entities participating in small-scale mining must either increase production capacity and investment or halt their operations by January, Mines Minister Polite Kambamura said in Harare on Friday.

“The small-scale gold-mining sector in Zimbabwe is reserved exclusively for Zimbabwean citizens,” he said. It’s for producers.
