Dear Nortonians,

I trust you are well.

Today, Monday the 26th March 2018, I am attending the inaugural *Harare Indaba being held at the Johannesburg Country Club in Auckland Park, Johannesburg under the banner* _*”Zimbabwe is Open for Mining”*_.

The initial event was staged in Johannesburg to compliment the already scheduled Cross-Border Services Indaba set for the 27th & 28th of March 2018 at the same venue in order to gain maximum traction and exposure for next years event.

The Indaba, was facilitated by *Resources for Africa Pty Ltd* to showcase Zimbabwe’s mining industry to potential investors and was graced by the *Minister of Mines, Hon. Winston Chitando, Mr. Kwesu, the CEO of the Chamber of Mines with fellow representatives, Honourable Committee Members of the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee for Mines & Energy, Mr. Alex Mhembere, the CEO for Zimplats and other leading Zimbabwean mining houses. People like Mr. Trevor Ncube, Dr. Paul Jourdan and others were also in attendance.*

I was part of the panel discussion with Trevor Ncube and Hon. Chitando and conducted several interviews on the sidelines of the Indaba.

The Indaba is certainly a prominent platform for mining in Zimbabwe and *”Team Zimbabwe”* certainly aroused a wealth of interest and I look forward to the future success of the event.

I look forward to returning on the ground in the constituency upon my return and will be in office on Wednesday.

Below are some picture taken during the Indaba….

Regards,

*Hon. Temba P. Mliswa (MP): Norton Constituency*
