Dr Polite Kambamura is set to be sworn in today as Zimbabwe’s new Minister of Mines and Mining Development, at State House, following his surprise appointment announced earlier this week.
The swearing-in ceremony will see Dr Kambamura officially assume his duties immediately after taking the oath of office.
Dr Kambamura’s appointment has been received with interest across the mining industry, which is currently undergoing major policy and structural reforms, including the implementation of the new Responsible Mining Audit Framework and the revision of several mining laws.
Industry players say his experience in both Engineering and governance positions him to steer the ministry at a time when issues such as transparency, compliance, investor confidence and value addition are under intense national scrutiny.
He takes over as Minister after serving as Deputy since 2017.
Dr Kambamura is expected to outline his immediate priorities after the swearing-in ceremony, with stakeholders hoping for continuity, clarity and decisive action to address long-standing challenges in the sector.
