Zimbabwe Miners Federation President Henrietta Rushwaya has been making significant strides in promoting the country’s mining sector as a prime investment destination, particularly in the gold sector. Speaking at the prestigious China Gold Congress and Expo, Rushwaya emphasized Zimbabwe’s open-door policy to foreign investors, highlighting the country’s abundant mineral resources, favorable investment climate, and skilled workforce.

The ZMF president outlined a compelling investment case for Zimbabwe’s gold sector, emphasizing the country’s rich reserves, supportive regulatory framework, and attractive incentives for investors. She also underscored the government’s commitment to infrastructure development, which is crucial for efficient mining operations.

"Zimbabwe’s gold sector offers unparalleled opportunities for growth and profitability," Rushwaya asserted. "We invite investors to partner with us in unlocking the full potential of this sector and contributing to the sustainable development of our nation."

The Zimbabwean delegation’s presence at the China Gold Congress and Expo is viewed as a strategic move to attract significant foreign investment into the country’s mining industry. Rushwaya’s confidence in Zimbabwe’s investment climate and the government’s commitment to creating a conducive environment for investors has generated optimism among potential investors.

The country’s mining sector has been experiencing a resurgence in recent years, with gold production steadily increasing. The Second Republic’s focus on re-engagement and its implementation of the National Development Strategy 1 have created a positive investment climate, attracting foreign investors across various sectors, including mining.
