According to Mimosa’ parent company Implats, the company donated food hampers and Personal Protective Equipment to health practitioners in the districts in an effort to mitigate the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Our Mimosa operation has recently taken steps to mitigate the effects of Covid-19 on frontline staff, through donating food hampers and PPE to nurses, doctors and other health practitioners in Zvishavane and Mberengwa districts of Zimbabwe,” Implats said.
Also recently, Implats owned platinum miner, Zimplats partnered with the Mhondoro Ngezi Rural District Council (MNRDC) to construct a COVID-19 isolation centre, with Zimplats donating the furniture and equipment valued at US$43 000.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Zimplats has demonstrated its core values of respect, care and delivery by donating ventilators, oxygen concentrators, oxygen tanks, disinfectants, sanitisers and knapsack sprayers and surgical masks to 8 hospitals as part of efforts to empower medical institutions.
