- Mine Surveyors to Redefine Their Role in Zimbabwe’s Mining Growth
The Association of Mine Surveyors of Zimbabwe (AMSZ) will hold its 41st Annual General Meeting and Conference on 27–28 August 2026 at the Great Zimbabwe Hotel, Masvingo, under the theme: “From Survey to Service and Strategic Partnerships for National Mining Growth.”
By Rudairo Mapuranga
The gathering comes at a decisive moment for the profession, as mine surveyors continue to transition from traditional measurement and mapping roles to becoming critical players in mineral accountability, production verification and strategic decision-making.
Over the past two years, the profession has expanded significantly, positioning mine surveyors as custodians of spatial data, independent production auditors and indispensable partners in national mineral accountability.
Speaking ahead of the event, AMSZ Secretary-General Paul Takunda Mubaiwa urged members, employers and stakeholders to register early and facilitate full participation.
“Every delegate and every voice matters. The decisions made at this gathering will shape the Association, the profession and the role of mine surveyors in Zimbabwe’s evolving mining landscape. Your presence strengthens our collective voice, protects our gains and helps secure the profession’s future,” he said.
The conference is expected to bring together government officials, miners, investors, development partners, suppliers, technical experts and industry leaders to discuss policy reforms, cadastre modernisation, ESG obligations, beneficiation priorities and small-scale mining regularisation.
