What is interesting about the project is the professionalism exhibited by the industrious youth."Among other skills some of the team members have more than a decade experience in the mining industry with some in possession of full blasting licence certificates and other mining qualifications."The claims which they are working on have been given to them under a tribute arrangement. Modernisation and professionalization of artisanal mining sector is one of the key enablers of the 12 billion mining industry by 2023” said cde Chirau.Task Syndicate chair, Timothy Masviba, said availing of the CIP by the ZANU PF Youth league was testimony to the good works of the syndicate which was working towards empowering youths through job creation.He said operations of the syndicate currently employ 700 workers mainly youths.Masviba said his team was determined to ensure that their operations remained above board hence their fixation with getting the necessary legal approvals.“The Youth league has facilitated our acquisition of a CIP machine at zero deposit but which we shall pay for over time. Under this initiative the League will also distribute CIP machines to other districts in the country. Once we acquire the necessary documents to use the CIP, we shall immediately deploy as the dump is already available”."This is a legal mine and all our operations are legal. We are different from "makorokoza" who just mine but we are artisanal miners who follow the law to the letter. All the gold we mine, we are selling to Fidelity in accordance with the law".
