The mining sector in Zimbabwe is reeling from poor economic activity over the past year, with the industry’s suppliers singing the blues as a result of challenges facing other players in the industry, AllAfrica reported. Exhibitors who attended one of the conferences at the just-ended Mine Entra said things were not rosy in the sector. Exhibitors urged the government in Harare to act swiftly to address the challenges or risk losing more than 50% of total exports and approximately 13% of fiscal revenue. P&R Hydraulics sales manager Phillemon Moyo said business at his company had dropped to 39% in 2015 from 79% in 2013. The company specializes in hydraulics and supplies companies such as Hwange Colliery.
