Zimbabwe will leverage on its natural resources and will not be deterred by the economic embargo imposed on it by Western nations, which have caused untold suffering of the people, President Mnangagwa has said.

The Head of State and Government was speaking after witnessing the signing ceremony of an investment agreement on Southern Serui Platinum Concessions between the Government and the Bravura Consortium for aero-magnetic exploration of the 3 000ha Muflox claims.

The claims are situated north of Selous along the Great Dyke in Mashonaland West Province.
The ceremony was held at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport in Harare yesterday, where the President commissioned two aero-magnetic planes to be used for the exploration.

The Bravura Consortium is a multinational mining house with subsidiaries in Nigeria, DRC, Guinea and Zimbabwe.

President Mnangagwa said the country has been under sanctions for a long time, resulting in the collapse of the economy.

This, he said, left the country’s development stagnated.
“While indeed we still say to those who imposed sanctions on us, remove them, because there is no justification for the embargo, we should not bury our heads in sand because of those sanctions,” he said.State media
