Speaking at the Matabeleland North provincial alternative indaba held at Inyathi Training Centre in Bubi district, Deputy president of the Chiefs’ Council, Chief Mtshane revealed that manufacturers and distributors are refusing to accept bond notes which makes it difficult for small scale mining companies to buy spare equipment in Bulawayo.
Said Mtshane:
There are too many barriers and this makes it difficult during the mining operations. This in turn affects the amount of gold that the players can get and it is obvious that the sector is producing less than what it used to.
