*Mines Ministry Secretary, Pfungwa Kunaka Accused Of Circumventing Granite Export Ban* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?pt The Mines and Mining Development Ministry permanent secretary, Pfungwa Kunaka, is accused of issuing a company called Inducon a waiver to continue the export of raw granite, despite a Government ban. The Government banned the export of raw granite through Statutory Instrument 127 of 2022. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- However, Kunaka reportedly issued a six-month waiver to Inducon to continue the raw export of granite, while shutting out others. According to ZimLive, four other companies – Rich Mark, Southern Granite, Quarrying Enterprises and Natural Stone – were denied the waiver and advised to seek cabinet approval. Inducon’s preferential treatment reportedly came after a closed meeting with Kunaka. ZimLive reported sources as saying applications for waivers by other miners including Quarrying Enterprises, Ilford Investments, Legacy, and Xeona Granite remain unprocessed. A source within the Ministry of Mines, who prefers to remain anonymous, was quoted as saying: > Granite exporters are questioning why Inducon Investments was granted a six-month waiver to export raw granite while the ban on raw granite exportation was put in place in 2022. > The only exceptions for exportation were supposed to be based on the production of a value addition plan and a contract with MMCZ, with a waiver period limited to three months. The source has labelled this situation as “abuse of office and corruption.” More: Pindula News _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
