Buy Zimbabwe wants the government to purchase more local products. The advocacy group believes official spending should target Zimbabwe-made goods to build manufacturing strength. General Manager Alois Burutsa spoke at an industry survey launch about this idea. He pointed out that local products already make up 70 percent of supermarket items. He mentioned bus manufacturing as one area with unused capacity waiting for orders.
According to Burutsa, local procurement would cut foreign imports. Recent industry reports show factory usage fell slightly to 52.3 percent, which means nearly half of the manufacturing capacity sits idle. Small businesses have grown their share of production but need more customers. Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube...

Zimbabwe made a deal with Invictus Energy that combines two oil agreements into one simple framework. The company leaders visited Zimbabwe last month to meet with officials about speeding up their Cabora Bassa Project. Both sides agreed that joining the agreements would create clearer rules as the project moves from exploration to production.
Invictus picked Musuma as their next drilling spot after finding gas at Mukuyu. The company expects Musuma will be cheaper to drill because they can use a vertical well to reach gas that appears close to the surface. Success there could open new areas for development across the region.
The company discovered major gas reserves in Mashonaland Central Province last year. These finds might help...
