The steel boss asks local firms to buy local metal instead of imports. His company makes quality steel for tall buildings at its big plant. The government told him that lots of money leaves the country each year to pay for foreign steel. Dinson aims to make five million tons when they finish all their work. They have already finished most parts of the plant.

The steel company operates in several places with mines in Hwange, a smelter in Selous, and the main factory in Mvuma. Small miners provide raw materials that help keep the factory running. This China-backed business wants to replace all steel imports with local products. The plant cost more than one billion US dollars to build. The steel meets high standards for major construction projects.

Takana Xu runs the plant on land marked for a planned smart city development. During a recent visit, his team showed reporters around. During the tour, he met with mining groups from five different regions. The company makes both pig iron and steel billets right at the site. They want Zimbabwe to keep all steel dollars inside its borders.
