Government officials want small miners across Matabeleland South to join cooperatives for better business success. Minister Albert Nguluvhe spoke Tuesday with business leaders and miners about organizing their work properly. The minister said illegal mining operations damage the environment and waste resources. Small miners produce 40 percent of gold sent to Fidelity but remain outside the law. He urged miners to unite and form legal groups that can receive government support.

Random pit digging across the province causes problems and cannot continue forever. Organized mining groups can access equipment and training that individual miners cannot afford. The devolution program has brought major improvements to the region under current leadership. Officials built Tshanyaugwe Clinic and mothers shelters in Mashaba and Garanyemba areas. Local council leaders direct funds toward roads and other infrastructure projects.

Gwanda Mayor Thulani Moyo says the city follows presidential guidance for development plans. The municipality works toward city status and better services for residents. Matabeleland South contains valuable mineral deposits that major companies mine successfully. Blanket and How Mine contribute significant amounts to national gold reserves. The province shows strong growth potential through proper mining organization.
