The Joburg Indaba team is hosting its 2nd annual Harare Indaba on investing in resources and mining in Zimbabwe.
Chaired by Bernard Swanepoel, The Harare Indaba is bringing together mining and investment communities interested in the country as a mining investment destination.
A senior delegation from the country including government and business is answering crucial questions such as:
- Is Zimbabwe really “open for business”?
- What has changed for the better since 2018?
- What has changed in mining policy?
- What are the current perceptions of Zimbabwe as an investment destination?
- What are the challenges of operating in in the country?

Steve Curtis: Zim has a wealth of human resource capital and we need to attract those who have left to come back. We are devoid of exploration and pipelines are long. Indigenisation is not business-friendly. We need to market to capital and skills #joburgindaba #harareindaba

Bhekinkosi Nkomo, RioZim: exploration is a risky exercise, so explorers need stable policies and security of tenure going forward to have confidence that they won't lose their investment. More needs to be done #joburgindaba #harareindaba
