Meet the new Portfolio Committee on Mines and Mining Development

Remigious Matangira Chairman Portfolio Committee on Mines and Mining Development

The new Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Mines and Mining Development members list is now out.

Previously headed by Hon Edmond Mkaratigwa the Committee will now be headed by Hon. Matangira Remigious as the Chairperson.

Mkaratigwa is highly credited for transparency and solidifying the relationship between legislators and the public by engaging Mining Media publications to broadcast committee business to its rightful audience. This improved government public relations and helped attain full house attendance everywhere the Committee had workshops and public consultations. This made the Mines committee stand out to be one of the most popular in history.

The Matangira-led committee is expected to hit the ground running as President Mnangagwa gave the Legislators approximately 1 year to conclude the Mines and Minerals Amendment Bill HB 10 2022 which did not sail through in the 9th parliament. The committee plays a pivotal role in shaping policies and legislation related to mining in Zimbabwe.
