Minister of Mines and Mining Development Hon Zhemu Soda will for the first time attend Investing in African Mining Indaba to be held from the 5th to the 8th of February 2024 in Cape Town South Africa.
The event is the largest gathering of investors on African soil where thousands of global investors gather for mining investment, innovation and transformation.
Zhemu is expected to deliver a key note address and highlight opportunities for investment, exploration and production available in Zimbabwe.
He will also participate in some intergovernmental panels where government Ministers engage in a question and answer segments that focus on policy developments amoungst others. Some of the intergovernmental discussions include:-
- Balancing supply and security – are international mineral partnerships providing equal value to producers?
- From aspiration to reality – promoting Africa’s Mining Vision on the global stage
- Enhancing local value – developing Africa’s infrastructure to advance the mineral chain
- Developing a fruitful and inclusive labour sector – policies, politics and possibilities
- Three Strike Rule – Can mining policies equally benefit citizens, the environment and the energy transition?
- Pan African investment – developing projects through local financing
- Disrupting Tax Systems – New Win-Win Approaches to Spur Mining Sector Investment and Employment
- Positioning Africa to succeed in diversifying global value chains
With the looming green energy revolution, the Minister will highly likely be engaged by Investors on “White Gold” investment in Zimbabwe.
In 2024, the overarching theme is ‘Embracing the power of positive disruption: A bold new future for African mining’ to encourage and support the needed change and disruption the African mining industry needs to move forward.
