Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa has revealed that the government is still assessing the feasibility of Command Mining and will only implement it if the feasibility study is favourable. This follows an expected bumper harvest which has been attributed to command agriculture.
Said Mnangagwa:
With regard to the concept of command mining, we are on the drawing board as to what model we can develop in order to have command mining,
We have not yet resolved the model of that command mining; if it lands itself well we will take them (miners) on board until we are satisfied that we have a model which can work, called command mining, then we would take them on board,
We will not go into a programme unless we are very clear both in terms of us policy makers and stakeholders in that sector accepting that this is the way forward that benefits them in the extraction of depletable resources in our country.
