In an exclusive interview, Chamber Vice President Munashe Shava outlined the organisation’s strategic role in representing the diverse interests of its constituents at the global forum.
“The Chamber of Mines is mandated to represent the interests of our constituents, which are the various mining houses,” Shava stated. “As such, we have various mines with different expectations from the Mining Indaba. Some are looking for investors, while others are looking for markets.”
To address this spectrum of needs, the Chamber will ensure active participation across the conference’s many platforms.
“We are going to be participating in the various forums where all these issues are going to be discussed,” Shava confirmed.
A key area of focus will be technological advancement. Shava highlighted the intent to seek out innovations that drive operational efficiency, a crucial factor in improving competitiveness and margins.
“We have issues around technology to improve efficiencies,” he said. “What is it that our constituents can benefit from the suppliers and solution providers that are going to be participating in the Mining Indaba?”
With the event serving as a premier global gathering, the Chamber is positioning it as an unmissable opportunity for local miners. Shava issued a direct call to members, emphasising the concentrated access to world-class expertise and capital.
“We are encouraging all our constituents and members to be part of this grand opportunity where the world meets the best of the best in terms of solution provision, funding, and more,” he urged.
This organised approach underscores the mining sector’s strategy to leverage international partnerships and cutting-edge solutions. By facilitating these connections, the Chamber aims to help Zimbabwean mining houses not only secure vital resources but also enhance their operational capabilities, directly contributing to the sector’s growth and its pivotal role in the national economy under the National Development Strategy 2 (NDS2).
The Chamber of Mines will be hosting its annual Mining Conference from the 26th to the 29th of May 2026.
