The Mines and Mining Development Ministry permanent secretary, Pfungwa Kunaka, is accused of issuing a company called Inducon a waiver to continue the export of raw granite, despite a Government ban.
The Government banned the export of raw granite through Statutory Instrument 127 of 2022.
However, Kunaka reportedly issued a six-month waiver to Inducon to continue the raw export of granite, while shutting out others.
According to <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/mines-ministry-secretary-accused-of-circumventing-ban-on-granite-exports/">ZimLive</a>, four other companies – Rich Mark, Southern Granite, Quarrying Enterprises and Natural Stone – were denied the waiver and advised to seek cabinet approval.
Inducon’s preferential treatment reportedly came after a closed meeting with Kunaka.
ZimLive reported sources as saying applications for waivers by other miners including Quarrying Enterprises, Ilford Investments, Legacy, and Xeona Granite remain unprocessed.
A source within the Ministry of Mines, who prefers to remain anonymous, was quoted as saying:
<blockquote>
Granite exporters are questioning why Inducon Investments was granted a six-month waiver to export raw granite while the ban on raw granite exportation was put in place in 2022.
The only exceptions for exportation were supposed to be based on the production of a value addition plan and a contract with MMCZ, with a waiver period limited to three months.
</blockquote>
The source has labelled this situation as “abuse of office and corruption.”

Mines Ministry Secretary, Pfungwa Kunaka Accused Of Circumventing Granite Export Ban

Shalom Mining has applied to explore oil and gas in Mana Pools, according to a notice in the Zimbabwean Government Gazette.
Mana Pools, which has been designated as a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco), lies on the southern bank of the Zambezi River that serves as the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia.
The heritage site covers 676 600 hectares, spanning the Mana Pools National Park, Sapi and Chewore Safari areas. Describing Mana Pools on its website, Unesco said: 
<blockquote>
On the banks of the Zambezi, great cliffs overhang the river and the floodplains. The area is home to a remarkable concentration of wild animals, including elephants, buffalo, leopards and cheetahs.
</blockquote>
Shalom has applied for an exploration license over an area of 130 000 hectares and any objections will need to be lodged by 19 May, the Mining Affairs Board said in the notice.
Shalom Mining is a Zimbabwean company, says Chairman Pfungwa Kunaka. Kunaka is also the new Permanent Secretary of Mines.
This comes as Australia-listed Invictus Energy Limited on Monday, 08 May <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/05/08/australian-firm-finds-oil-gas-and-helium-in-zimbabwe/">confirmed the presence of light oil, gas condensate and helium</a> at its Cabora Bassa project in Muzarabani, Zimbabwe.
Invictus Managing Director Scott Macmillan said that mud gas analysis from the Mukuyu-1 well drilled last year had proved the presence of hydrocarbons in multiple reservoir pay zones. 
Some Zimbabweans are, however, sceptical that the natural resources being discovered will transform the lives of the common person given the country’s history of poor governance. 
Zimbabwe is a mineral-rich country but struggles to turn resources into economic success. Reasons include lack of investment, infrastructure, illegal mining, and corruption.

MMCZ General Manager Tongai Muzenda Dies In Car Crash

The Ministry of Mines and Mining Development has accused miners of hiding mineral discoveries and fleecing the economy of billions of dollars.
The government has now introduced stringent measures and frequent inspections including a ban on the issuance of mining titles until further notice for diamonds, copper, lithium, nickel and rare earth minerals citing an unusual increase in applications for claims.
The ministry had found that some miners have not been declaring the discovery of different minerals at their mines, NewsDay reported citing an internal circular penned by Mines ministry secretary Pfungwa Kunaka and addressed to 10 directors in government departments.
The circular was also copied to Mines minister Winston Chitando. Reads the circular dated December 19, 2022:
<blockquote>
This non-declaration has led to prejudice to the growth of the mining sector economy as in some instances high value minerals are involved.
Accordingly, you are hereby directed to ensure that on applications for inspection certificates, the applicants submit a declaration of the amount of work carried out as well as a declaration of minerals contained in the ore body being mined. This should be backed by an assay certificate issued by an approved laboratory.
Further, we have of late seen a flooding of applications for mining titles for minerals which have been deemed strategic in the upcoming Mines and Minerals Amendment Bill. It has thus become necessary that in the national interest, we temporarily stop acceptance and processing of applications for mining titles for the following minerals until further notice: diamonds, copper, lithium, nickel (and) rare earth minerals.
</blockquote>
Kunaka said frequent inspections would be done, while officials would be required to submit monthly reports effective from December 19, 2022.
Mines deputy minister <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Polite_Kambamura">Polite Kambura</a> said the decision on diamonds, nickel, copper, lithium and rare earth minerals was in line with the government’s long-term strategy to have State control in the exploitation of the minerals.
On Tuesday, the government announced through Statutory Instrument 213 of 2022, cited as the Base Minerals Export Control (Unbeneficiated Lithium Bearing Ores) Order, 2022, <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/zimbabwe-bans-export-of-raw-lithium/">that the export of raw lithium has been banned.</a>
The move is meant to encourage the exportation of beneficiated products.
Zimbabwe is estimated to hold Africa’s largest lithium reserves and is the fifth largest in the world.
