He added, "On Tuesday we will sign a deal with investors whom we met in Davos and are interested in CSC Masvingo. On 31 July, they will start operations at the abattoir and 500 jobs will be created."
He went on, "In mining, we have lithium at Bikita; we are introducing new investors who will partner Government in exploring the minerals.

Diamonds in Sese, Chivi District will be exploited after the elections as we are crafting a new diamond policy and we will start mining in September."
