Over 5 million jobs expected from empowerment drive: Chapfika

Saturday, 05 May 2012

Sunday Mail Reporter


The country’s indigenisation and empowerment drive is expected to create more than five million jobs, reduce the unemployment rate to single-digit levels and improve the lives of rural communities.

Mr David Chapfika, the chairman of the National Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Board, said the ongoing empowerment drive will see the majority of Zimbabweans being economically independent.

“We estimate that the indigenisation and economic empowerment programme will result in the creation of more than 5 million jobs over the next 10-15 years, a development that should see our unemployment levels plummeting to single-digit levels.

“The job opportunities will not only be confined to urban centres as the construction of schools, roads, clinics and other infrastructure in rural areas will create thousands of jobs in every district.
“An additional 30 000 jobs will be created through the various share ownership schemes that are being implemented for people living close to multinational mining firms,” he said.

Mr Chapfika noted that the empowerment programme will also create a sustainable economy that can withstand the effects of the illegal economic sanctions imposed on the country by Britain and its Western allies.
“Indigenisation will enhance employee and management stakeholding in businesses as they will have a say on how the companies operate as well as get a piece of the profits that have hitherto been a preserve of a minority.

“The programme will also accelerate rural development and promote technology transfer as the indigenous people make strategic partnerships with foreign investors.
“For example, companies in the mining sector will have to set up refineries in the country as part of measures aimed at ensuring value addition,” he said.

Zimbabwe Youth Council director Mr Livingstone Dzikira lauded the ongoing efforts to empower the masses.
“There is no doubt that the           indigenisation and empower-         ment programme will have a positive impact on the life of Zimbabweans as the creation of opportunities will level an economic playing field that has been tilted against the majority of the populace,” said Mr Dzikira.

Here's a bit how it works.

Chiadzwa communities get boost

Saturday, 05 May 2012 21:34

Kuda Bwititi in Mutare
The Chiadzwa Community Development Trust (CCDT) has stepped up efforts to enhance the benefication process for the communities living in the Marange area with the locals castigating foreign NGOs for pursuing selfish interests and negating their true purpose of assisting the community.

This comes as Mbada Diamonds last week gave up to US$70 000 each to shop owners whose businesses were relocated to accommodate the diamond-mining activities in the area.

The projects are in tandem with Kimberly Process Certification Scheme guidelines of upgrading the livelihoods of people that were relocated to pave way for diamond mining in the area.

Speaking during a CCDT planning workshop here yesterday, the trust’s projects manager, Ms Melanie Chiponda, said several income-generating projects will be unveiled to improve the livelihoods of people in the area.
She said  the projects include the setting up of agro processing plants, poultry, bee-keeping, goat-rearing and community gardening.


“We are in the process of coming up with a benefication model which articulates all the projects that we are going to carry out in the area. The background to all this is that the people of Marange should continue to benefit from the diamond resource through downstream industries.
“These industries will continue to benefit the people even after the lifespan of the diamond resources has expired,” she said.

Ms Chiponda added that the projects will unlock fresh employment opportunities for the people of Marange and reduce donor dependency.
“We have realised that the companies mining cannot provide employment to every job-seeker from Marange. This means that people have to create employment opportunities for themselves and they will not rely on donor handouts,” she said.

Ms Chiponda said Marange residents were disappointed by some foreign NGOs that were focusing their attention on denigrating the operations in their area instead of providing tangible support for the community.

She said Mbada Diamonds has responded positively to support the income-generation initiatives after it pledged to kick-start poultry projects for villagers in Marange.
“We are glad that to date, the mining companies have expressed interest in these projects. Mbada Diamonds has already led the way by providing inputs to kick-start the poultry projects,” she said.

Mr Tafadzwa Musarara from the Resources Exploitation Watch said the CCDT has the potential to achieve huge success as there are a number of opportunities to venture in.
“CCDT is at the moment the most active community trust in the country and it is standing on solid ground to achieve huge success. You should take advantage of the prevailing

Government legislation on procurement which states that 50 percent of all products should be supplied by locals,” he said.
AAG vice-president Mrs Elizabeth Nyathi urged people from Chiadzwa to form their own consortium and venture into mining.

“We should form consortiums of about 50 people and then do the mining ourselves. We hope that in the coming years, Government will seriously consider this,” she said.
CCDT, which is made up exclusively of people from Marange area, was formed in 2009 to advance community benefits from the diamond resources that are mined in the area.
