THE ruling Zanu-PF party has bought state-of-the-art mining Gold Carbon-in-pulp (gold CIP) equipment worth about $2,8 million to improve gold returns in mining operations run by youths in all the provinces.

Addressing an extraordinary Zanu-PF Midlands Provincial Coordinating Committee meeting over the weekend, the party’s secretary for Youth Affairs Pupurai Togarepi said in support of coordinated mining activities, each province was going to get gold CIP equipment.

Togarepi, who is also a Politburo member, said it was high time that the youths took economic enablers like mining and farming seriously for their own benefit and that of the country at large.

“As Youth League, we have a lot of programmes for our youths. These economic enablers are aimed at working hand in glove with the Cde Mnangagwa-led Government, which is putting in place mechanism to grow this economy. As such, we are supporting youths in mining with hummer mills and we have bought 10 gold CIP equipment at a cost of $2,8 million,” he said.

“A miner who uses gold CIP technology gets more than 70 percent of gold than the one who doesn’t. The machines for all provinces are ready for collection. We got these machines through the assistance of Cde Mnangagwa.”State media
