Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>THE Zimbabwe Miners Federation\u2019s (ZMF) annual general meeting (AGM) kicks off in the capital today with Mines and Mining Development minister Winstone Chitando as the guest speaker.<\/p>\n

The two-day indaba is being held under the theme, Sustainable Mining: A Catalyst towards National Development. It ends tomorrow.<\/p>\n

In an interview with NewsDay yesterday, ZMF president Henrietta Rushwaya said they were expecting representatives from all the provinces of the country to share ideas and experiences in the mining sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are having our annual general meeting starting on 11th to 12th at Harare Hippodrome in Braeside, Harare where Minister Chitando is set to address guests,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are enforcing a zero-tolerance policy against environmental degradation that includes deforestation, habitat destruction, pollution, soil erosion, human-wildlife conflict and biodiversity loss.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rushwaya said collaboration was needed to ensure mining contributes positively to national development while safeguarding Zimbabwe\u2019s natural resources.<\/p>\n

Government has urged gold miners to increase output to support the recently-launched Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency that was introduced in April this year.<\/p>\n

ZiG is backed by gold and cash reserves. It\u2019s the nation\u2019s sixth attempt to have a functioning local currency in 15 years.<\/p>\n

Since late 2022 miners have been ordered to pay their royalties to the State in commodity and cash to help increase reserves.<\/p>\n

To help boost production, government encourages artisanal, small-scale miners, medium- and large-scale miners to increase production, Chitando was quoted saying recently.<\/p>\n
