*Small-scale Miners Plead For Reduction Of Taxes* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?ub Youths who are involved in small-scale mining have appealed to authorities to reduce the mining levies required for one to operate in order to allow growth and development in the sector. In June 2021, the government, through Statutory Instrument 185 of 2021, announced new mining fees which are considered exorbitant by small-scale miners. ---------- itel A70 256GB $99USD WhatsApp: https://wa.me/+263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 ---------- Speaking to NewZimbabwe.com, Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) youth secretary for Matabeleland North, Nkululeko Ngwenya said the high fees are negatively affecting the growth of the mining sector. He said: > Mines inspection fee is US$300, Environmental Management Agency (EMA) wants US$250, then the council also wants US$400. The money needed is too much and affects growth in the sector. > We are asking that the government might consider our pleas and reduce operations fees so that the industry may grow and boom, supporting development in the mining sector. Ngwenya said the exorbitant fees have hindered many small-scale miners from formally registering and regularising their illegal operations. _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
