ZISCO Steel Chairperson Eng. Martin Manuhwa Opens Up on Resurgence, Impact on the Mining Industry & Economy

The engineering, iron, and steel sectors in Zimbabwe have recently been given a lifeline, offering hope for the country’s mining industry and economy. Notable shifts in the sector include the revival of ZISCO and the anticipated commissioning of Dinson Iron and Steel Company (DISCO), offering massive potential revenue.

The steel industry is a significant factor in the mining value chain, and recent activity has breathed some hope into its dormant state.

The resurgence of the engineering, iron, and steel industry is expected to boost employment opportunities, creation of new technology and equipment, increase productivity and efficiency and ultimately encourage further investment in the mining industry – as we’ll explore.

The forthcoming commissioning of ZISCO steel and DISCO will form the backbone of Zimbabwe’s iron and steel industry, offsetting the high cost of importing steel products while providing essential raw materials and equipment needed for mining operations.
