Additionally, President Mnangagwa’s amendment to the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Zimbabwe Act (SI 56 of 2023) facilitated the transfer of the government’s shareholdings in 20 entities to the fund.

Mnangagwa Expands Mutapa Investment Fund With Seven New Parastatals

The Minister of Finance, Economic Development, and Investment Promotion, Professor <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mthuli_Ncube/">Mthuli Ncube</a>, has announced the appointment of the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mutapa_Investment_Fund/">Mutapa Investment Fund</a> board. The Mutapa Investment Fund was previously known as the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Zimbabwe. According to a statement seen by Pindula News, the appointments were approved by President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Read the statement:
<blockquote>
1. The Sovereign Wealth Fund Act [Chapter 22:201 (“the Act”), which established the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Zimbabwe was promulgated in 2015.
2. Since then, the operationalization of the Fund progressed slowly as the Government was exploring various efficient ways of capitalising the fund.
3. Following consultations with various stakeholders, His Excellency has now taken a substantive and deliberate decision to operationalise the Fund as well as to capitalise it appropriately.
4. As part of the implementation of that decision, His Excellency, through SI 56 of 2023, made certain important amendments to the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Zimbabwe Act which included the transfer of the Government of Zimbabwe’s various shareholdings in twenty-two entities to the Fund. The Fund was also renamed Mutapa Investment Fund through the publication of Mutapa Investment Fund: Presidential Powers (Temporary Measures) (Investment Laws Amendment) Regulations, 2023.
5. The Mutapa Investment Fund is owned by the Republic of Zimbabwe as set out in section subsection 2 of section 3 of the Act.
6. Traditionally, SoEs and local authorities used to contribute 40% to the country’s GDP. Over the years, not only did the positive contribution by SOEs cease, but they have generally become a drain on the fiscus, for many well-documented reasons.
7. His Excellency, the President has observed that the performance of SOEs can be enhanced by proper performance management, reformulation of their corporate strategies in line with the National Vision 2030 and NDS1, institution of effective governance frameworks, a strengthening of the institutions, effective capital raising and disciplined capital allocation. 
8. Being a sovereign wealth fund, the Fund’s objects are to make secure investments for the benefit and enjoyment of future generations of Zimbabweans, to support the development objectives of the Government, including its long-term economic and social development; to support fiscal or macroeconomic stabilisation, and to contribute to the revenues of Zimbabwe from the net retums on its investments
9. Government is determined not only that it earns a return on its investments starting with its investments in the companies listed in Statutory Instrument 156 of 2023, but also to foster sustainable employment creation, and ultimately that the companies operate profitably and contribute to the fiscus. This will be achieved in part through the implementation of a robust monitoring and evaluation institutional framework by the Fund as part of the performance management system in respect of companies in which it is invested.
10. To this end, I am pleased to announce that, as a further step towards the reforms and the operationalisation of the Fund, His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Cde. Dr. E. D. Mnangagwa, has approved the appointment of the following professionals to serve as Board members of the Mutapa Investment Fund:
 i. <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Chipo_Mtasa/">Chipo Mtasa</a> (Chairperson) 
ii. Lesley Ndlovu (Vice Chairperson) 
iii. Thembelihle Khumalo
 iv. Farai Mtamangira 
v. Bart Mswaka 
vi.  Charity Jinya 
vii. Prassad Bhamre.
11. Government is determined to establish a world-class sovereign wealth fund and it is envisaged that the board will make a strong contribution towards this objective.
12. May I take the opportunity to wish the new board members success in their new role and to register Government’s commitment to support the board in its work.
Thank you.

Finance Minister, Mthuli Ncube, Announces Appointment Of Mutapa Investment Fund Board

Former minister <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Saviour_Kasukuwere/">Saviour Kasukuwere </a>has criticised President Emmerson Mnangagwa for exempting 20 companies under the Mutapa Sovereign Wealth Fund from public procurement procedures. 
President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Emmerson_Mnangagwa/">Emmerson Mnangagwa</a> has exempted companies under the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mutapa_Investment_Fund/">Mutapa Investment Fund</a> (formerly the Sovereign Wealth Fund) from the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act in Zimbabwe. This means that the companies under the fund, including TelOne, Kuvimba Mining, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Petrotrade/">Petrotrade,</a> and Noczim, are no longer required to follow the procurement procedures outlined by the Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe when acquiring goods and services.
Kasukuwere believes this is a clear abuse of power and demonstrates a lack of integrity on the part of the ZANU PF leader. In a statement seen by Pindula News, he calls on all Zimbabweans who care about the country’s future to send a strong message to the president. He also expressed concern about the personalisation and misuse of state assets at the expense of citizens. He said:
<blockquote>
<h3>Mnangagwa’s Presidential Decrees Open Door to Massive State Asset Looting </h3>
The recent renaming of the Sovereign Wealth Fund into the so-called “Mutapa Fund” by presidential decree and the subsequent transfer of selected state enterprises into that fund has shocked many and naturally attracted serious concern regarding the motives behind such a brazen move, especially without the consent of parliament, which is still to convene and is meant to protect the interests of citizens. Further to that, there is the recent promulgation, again by presidential decree, of a new statutory instrument that seeks to exempt the Mutapa Fund from the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act (Chapter 22:23). There is no debate that public procurement procedures and the disposal of public assets have a profound impact on a nation’s developmental trajectory. Any country that wishes to maximize benefits from its assets and resources in a responsible manner and is also serious about accountability and transparency, therefore, needs to ensure that it has the appropriate laws, policies, and regulations in place to safeguard such public assets and resources from fraud and abuse. To protect state resources or assets from abuse, it is critical that there are:
• Comprehensive and binding legal frameworks,
• Effective monitoring and auditing procedures to ensure compliance with the regulations,
• Standard terms and conditions of contracts,
• Improved transparency and public availability of rules governing the process. It is in this spirit that Zimbabwe enacted the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act (Chapter 22:23), whose primary purpose is to provide for the control and regulation of procurement and the disposal of public assets to ensure that such procurement and disposal are conducted in a manner that is transparent, fair, honest, cost-effective, and competitive.
The key objectives of this Act are as follows:
1. To ensure that procurement is conducted in a manner that is transparent, fair, honest, cost-effective, and competitive.
2. To promote competition among bidders.
3. To provide for the fair and equitable treatment of all bidders leading to procurement contracts that represent good value for money.
4. To promote the integrity of, and fairness and public confidence in procurement processes.
5. To ensure the implementation of any environmental, social, economic, and other policies authorized or required by any law to be taken into account by a procuring entity in procurement proceedings. 
The exemption of any state entity from this Act not only indicates a profound disregard for the interests of citizens at large and the rule of law but also shows an abhorrence of any accountability or transparency whatsoever by the President. The negative implications of such a move are numerous and mean that those assets clandestinely transferred into the Mutapa Fund are now subject to gross abuse and looting without public disclosure or any recourse. 
Exempting the fund from such critical oversight means, first, there will be no obligation by the state to follow due process regarding the procurement of goods and services by the fund, thus exposing it to unmitigated risk. Second. such assets can be disposed of. not necessarily at fair value, and to individuals with close ties without any accountability whatsoever. 
In short, Zimbabweans have been dispossessed of effective and judicious control of state assets, and Mnangagwa has, in effect, taken full control of them under the Mutapa Fund without being answerable to anyone on how these assets operate or are disposed of in the future. This entrenches only his interests in what are essentially public assets. If this is not a brazen abuse of power and a lack of judgment and probity, what is it? 
Therefore, it is our considered view that all Zimbabweans who have the future interests of our country at heart must send a clear and unequivocal message to this President: Enough is Enough! We cannot sit idly by as state assets are personalized and abused at the expense of citizens. Sokwanele! Zvakwana!

Kasukuwere Urges Zimbabweans To Oppose Mnangagwa's Exemption Of Mutapa Fund From Procurement Procedures

President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Emmerson_Mnangagwa/">Emmerson Mnangagwa</a> has <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/09/30/president-mnangagwa-has-exempted-mutapa-investment-fund-companies-from-public-procurement-procedures/">exempted companies</a> under the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mutapa_Investment_Fund/">Mutapa Investment Fund</a> (formerly the Sovereign Wealth Fund) from the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act in Zimbabwe. This means that the companies under the fund, including <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/TelOne/">TelOne</a>, Kuvimba Mining, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Petrotrade/">Petrotrade,</a> and Noczim, are no longer required to follow the procurement procedures outlined by the Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe when acquiring goods and services.
The decision <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/09/30/president-mnangagwa-has-exempted-mutapa-investment-fund-companies-from-public-procurement-procedures/">to exempt these companies from open public procurement procedures</a> was announced in General Notice 1546 of 2023, published in a government gazette on September 29, 2023. The notice seen by Pindula News states that the exemption was granted because the mentioned public entity operates in competitive markets and is deemed to require an exemption under the specified grounds of the Act. 
Some commentators have criticized the exemption of companies under the Mutapa Investment Fund from public procurement procedures, suggesting it could lead to looting and personal gain. Journalist <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mduduzi_Mathuthu/">Mduduzi Mathuthu</a> expressed concern saying:
<blockquote>
A scandal! Guess who will be supplying those companies? The family!
</blockquote>
Former Petrotrade Board chairperson <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Tinomudaishe_Chinyoka/">Tinomudaishe Chinyoka</a>, however, mentioned that procurement regulations sometimes hinder the competitiveness of government-owned companies, and an exemption might not necessarily be a bad thing if implemented properly. He said:
<blockquote>
From my limited experience, procurement regulations make it hard for government-owned private limited liability companies to be competitive. You can’t even cough without running a tender for it. And, being forced to buy things an 4 times their price just because that was the lowest bid you received to the mandatory tender is not how to run a business. So, with that limited experience, I don’t think this is necessarily a bad thing. The devil will be in the detail of how things actually work. Sometimes, not everything is amended to facilitate corruption.
</blockquote>
 Former Local Government Minister <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Saviour_Kasukuwere/">Saviour Kasukuwere</a> criticized the move as an abuse of power and raised concerns about potential corruption. He said:
<blockquote>
Mnangagwa’s Presidential Decrees Open Door to Massive State Asset Looting The recent renaming of the Sovereign Wealth Fund into the so-called “Mutapa Fund” by presidential decree and the subsequent transfer of selected state enterprises into that fund has shocked many and naturally attracted serious concern regarding the motives behind such a brazen move, especially without the consent of parliament, which is still to convene and is meant to protect the interests of citizens.

Apostle Joel expressed strong condemnation, calling it industrial looting and a betrayal of accountability and transparency. He said:
<blockquote>
Gold Mafia/Industrial Corruption Inc Zimbabwe ED has now officially personalized Zimbabwe after substituting the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Zimbabwe with a new one named Mutapa Investment Fund. ED’s hunger and thirsty to build his dynasty has manifested for all to see. Remember, the prophecy of inauguration of shame, dishonour. Remember, the throne of disgrace, humiliation. Cursed!! Leprotic!! Ahithophel wisdom. Corrupted wisdom. Whatever ED does is cursed, and offensive to the Zimbabwean citizens. The Mutapa Fund has assumed ownership of several state firms, and these companies are exempted from open public procurement procedures. Welcome to Industrial looting never witnessed in this country, even, when it was still Rhodesia. None has boldness to investigate, or stop this train of corruption, since all state institutions are captured. After zanufying Southern Africa, except for the few nations standing for righteousness and justice, vene is now personalizing Zimbabwe . This is very worrying. Accountability and transparency have been thrown out of the window. The Holy Scriptures have been fulfilled. To expect a bad man not to do wrong is madness. A man without God has no morals, and is not accountable to anyone. Pro 16:12 KJ2000 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness. Brothers and sisters, we are now open for business.

Member of Parliament (MP) for the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mt_Pleasant/">Mt Pleasant</a> Constituency in Harare, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Fadzayi_Mahere/">Fadzayi Mahere</a> argued that the creation of the Mutapa Fund is illegal and allows for unprecedented looting. Fadzayi Mahere who is a member of the opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) said:
<blockquote>
The uncomfortable truth is that the creation of the Mutapa Fund is illegal. Mr Mnangagwa doesn’t have the power to amend an Act of Parliament. The new looting vehicle is ultra vires the law &amp; the Constitution. This dispensation is going for broke. Shameless. The looting that’s about to take place is stratospheric. Most parastatals &amp; public entities incl ZUPCO, Netone &amp; many others now fall under the unconstitutional Mutapa Fund. These entities are now exempt from the legal obligation to go through public tender procedures. Tragic.
</blockquote>
Economic commentator Tinashe Murapata drew parallels with historical nationalization efforts, saying: 
<blockquote>
The confusion that is Mutapa Investment fund. What is happening is nationalization of commercial assets with direct control and command by the centre. Many of these assets were private, had private shareholders, parastatals, ran at arms length and now all directly bundled under the command of Mutapa. This is nothing new. This happened in Africa in the 1960’s where companies were bundled up through nationalization and a joint venture with a preferred private investor was pursued. It reminded me very much of Tiny Rowland – the preferred private investor and his foray in Africa. Herein my abridged essay on Tiny Rowland and what happened at the time. Striking parallels.
</blockquote>
The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Amalgamated_Rural_Teachers_Union_of_Zimbabwe/">Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ)</a> expressed concern about the possible stripping of national assets. Said the union:
<blockquote>
On 17 December 2021, VP Chiwenga responding to allegations of a Coup plot by Chief Murinye, declared that Zimbabwe has one Monomutapa referring to @edmnangagwa Now the Mutapa Investment fund is being exempted from Public Procurement laws and procedures. Are Mutapa’s assets going to remain national assets? If these are national assets then the Procurement Act should be religiously applied on the Mutapa Investment.We are deeply concerned that Zimbabwe will be stripped of her assets.

The Sovereign Wealth Fund of Zimbabwe is a financial entity established by the government of Zimbabwe to manage and invest surplus funds generated from the country’s natural resources, such as minerals and commodities. Its primary objective is to preserve and grow national wealth for the benefit of current and future generations. The fund is designed to diversify Zimbabwe’s economy, promote sustainable development, and provide a buffer for economic shocks. It typically invests in a range of assets, including stocks, bonds, real estate, and infrastructure projects, both domestically and internationally.
The Sovereign Wealth Fund of Zimbabwe has been renamed the Mutapa Investment Fund through substantial amendments to the relevant Act. Key features include the allocation of funds towards fulfilling the Fund’s objectives and the ability to invest surplus funds. Shares held by the government in listed companies will become part of the Fund’s initial capital. The Fund is authorized to transfer various funds in and out of Zimbabwe. However, tax obligations must be fulfilled before any transfers take place. In exceptional cases of financial difficulties, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe may impose temporary restrictions on Fund-related payments or transfers on a fair and non-discriminatory basis.
The Mutapa Investment Fund (MIF) has controversial privileges, including the ability to move foreign currency out of Zimbabwe, raising concerns about transparency and accountability. Critics argue that President Mnangagwa bypassed parliamentary powers and failed to involve necessary debate. They also highlight the government’s lack of understanding regarding the role of a sovereign wealth fund in diversifying the economy. Concerns exist about the profitability of state-owned enterprises transferred to the MIF and the need for economic reforms. The government’s use of statutory instruments without parliamentary involvement is criticized for undermining democratic processes and transparency.
