Walter Madzimure

In the heart of Zimbabwe’s mining landscape, a familiar name is making waves once again. Intrachem, once plagued by quality concerns, has returned to Dallaglio Holdings’ Eureka Gold Mine in Guruve with a vengeance, armed with an arsenal of world-class explosives. This resurgence marks a turning point not only for Intrachem but for the entire mining sector in Zimbabwe.

According to Intrachem Operations Manager Mr. Walter Madzimure, Intrachem has undergone a technical revival, he speaks candidly about the company’s journey of redemption. “On quality issues, previously, a couple of years ago, we had some issues with our emulsion, which was mainly to do with product application that cost us reputational damage and, temporarily, a sizable chunk of the market and created a poor name tag for Intrachem’s emulsion, Hydrox,” Madzimure reflects.

Madzimure said Intrachem continuously seeks to add value to its offerings by leveraging the latest technological advancements and innovations.

“We have since worked on ourselves through extensive training programs and strengthening ourselves in terms of complete product understanding.” The Intrachem Operations Manager said, “This commitment to self-improvement has paid dividends for Intrachem.”

“Our product has attracted only good reports from the multitude of customers who have put their trust in Intrachem supplying a good quality product. We have since gone past the bumpy patch, from where we took multiple learnings, and are performing well,” Madzimure proudly asserts.

According to Madzimure, the proof lies in the results – successful blasts at renowned sites like Eureka and most of Zimbabwe’s premier open pit mines, bear testament to Intrachem’s resurgence.

Nelson Banda, General Manager of Eureka Mine, echoes Madzimure’s sentiments. “We have a main contract with a different supplier, but Intrachem does supply us from time to time as a stop-gap measure. Their product seems to be working” Banda acknowledges.

Intrachem’s return to prominence is not merely a tale of redemption; it’s a story of innovation and resilience. Madzimure emphasizes, “We looked inward at ourselves, reflected on what we did and found out where the root cause was and worked around to address the problem and how to continuously improve. So, yeah, I can say it is here and we are coming out in full force to help, support and improve supply and service to the Zimbabwe customer.”

With each successful blast and each satisfied customer, Intrachem solidifies its position as a driving force in Zimbabwe’s mining sector. As they continue to push the boundaries of excellence, one thing is clear – Intrachem is back at Eureka, and they’re here to stay.
