Zanu PF Youth leader urges Govt to repossess idle mining claims

Addressing hundreds of workers at Danangwe District Youth Mining Cooperative in Chegutu on Wednesday, Zanu-PF Secretary for Youth in the Politburo, Kudzanayi Chipanga said Government should repossess mining claims and tributaries held for speculative purposes by absentee owners now resident outside the country. He said that the claims should be repossessed to create employment and boost the economy.

Chipanga said,

All mining claims which are not being used because the owners are outside the country should be repossessed by Government so that youths who are unemployed but have shown their abilities through artisanal mining should be given a chance.

He also urged the Ministry of Mines and Mining Development not to renew claims and tributaries where there was no activity.
