challenges and future prospects of the mining sector in Zimbabwe.CRD Report January 2014

On top of this brutality on panners, no efforts have been made by mining companies to alleviate
communities living in Marange to come out of abject poverty. Billions of dollars have disappeared in
Marange diamond sales with government admitting that mining companies in Marange are not paying
dividend to government.Moreso over 60 000 jobs have been created in India out of Marange diamonds
at the expense of local communities.
