*Ammendment to Mines and Minerals Act set to decriminalise the possession of gold* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?tm The government is working on amending the Mines and Minerals Act (Chapter 21:05) to make it more favourable for small-scale miners, informally known as makorokoza. The law which was enacted in 1963 makes it illegal to possess gold, something which has affected small-scale miners adversely. The new Mines and Minerals Amendment Act is expected to create a favourable environment for the mining sector. Team leader of the ease of doing business Technical Working Group created by Government, Professor Ashok Chakravarti said: ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage $119 USD WhatsApp +263783450793 ---------- > In particular, we want it to provide a favourable environment to makorokoza (small miners) because you know they are almost four million of them now and they are producing 10 tonnes of gold. > In the old colonial Act they are all illegal, they are criminals; so we must change all those things and we must make them legal. We must give them incentives, we must support them because they are doing a wonderful thing for the country. > So those are some of the things that should be coming in the new Act to make sure that there is broad participation of people in mining, and done in a proper way and we increase production and exports.
