Penhalonga Valley Investments (PVI) and The Mining Portfolio (Pvt) Ltd (TMP), are being supported by the Mutasa Rural District Council (MRDC), which previously fought off the mining venture.
The companies, however, lack approvals from the Environmental Management Authority (EMA).

Transparency International Zimbabwe congratulates Kudakwashe Pembere on winning the Best Medicines Safety Journalist Award for a story commissioned under the Strengthening Anti-Corruption Frameworks for Responsive and Accountable Governance in Zimbabwe (SAFRAG) project with the support from Sweden
The award highlights the power of journalism to inform the public, protect public health and promote accountability. Investigative reporting also plays a critical role in exposing illicit financial flows, tracing funds lost through corruption and uncovering the misuse of public resources.
By following the money and exposing wrongdoing, journalists help strengthen transparency and hold those responsible to account.
