2 Parliament committees to visit Zvishavane

Two Parliamentary Portfolio Committees, the Minerals Exploration and Marketing and the Higher Education committee will be visiting Zvishavane on consultation missions.

Masvingo Mirror reported that they will be meeting people from the same venue at Shabani Mine Club on May 11, 2016 to discuss bills. Zvishavane Ngezi MP John Holder confirmed the meetings.

"Yes Parliament will be coming to Zvishavane for public hearings and it will be the two portfolios Minerals Exploration and Marketing Corporation Bill and Higher Education committee.

It will be a hearing on the mining exploration bill and the Pan-African University bill. They will do their meetings jointly and they want input from the mining community," said Holder.

He said a Pan African University will be built in Zimbabwe so the consultations are important to the mining sector.

"I am hoping that the people of Zvishavane especially those in the mining sector, whether small scale, medium or large scale come together to help with the formulation of policies," said Holder.
