Mines minister Walter Chidakwa told Parliament yesterday that the Zimbabwe Diamond Mining Company (ZCDC) still has 300 million tonnes of diamond ore to mine in Chiadzwa.
Chidakwa said new Mines secretary Munesuishe Munodawafa would not interfere with the ZCDC board like what transpired with former secretary Francis Gudyanga.
He said ZCDC had to date surpassed the previous year's diamond production, recording production levels of 1 039 925 carats in five and a half months up to June 2017 against a total of 961 000 carats produced in 2016.
