Zimbabwe approves $3bn FDI in 2015
via Zimbabwe approves $3bn FDI in 2015 – The Standard October 25, 2015
The Zimbabwe Investment Authority (ZIA) has this year approved investments worth $3 billion across all sectors of the economy as the drive to increase foreign direct investment (FDI) gathers momentum, an official has said.
BY TATIRA ZWINOIRA
The figure is a sharp increase from the $715 million worth of approved projects recorded last year during the same period.
Speaking at the 3rd edition of the Zimbabwe Investor Awards in Harare on Friday, ZIA chairman Nigel Chanakira said more investments were expected to be approved by the end of the year as some foreign investors expressed an interest in the country.
“We have now topped the $3 billion mark for the first time in the history of Zimbabwe and of course this is nine months into the year.
“We know foreign delegations have increased in both number and intensity. We are still hoping that we finish the year strong,” Chanakira said.
“What we want to see is an increase in total investment in our country. The government is functioning way below its weight. Our neighbours are attracting anywhere to the order of $6 billion per annum.”
Eighty foreign delegations from countries such as German, Nigeria, China and South Korea visited the country over the past 10 months to scout for opportunities.
The main areas where the investors have shown interest include energy and power development, roads, rail, aviation, telecommunications, water and sanitation in what are long-term projects.
As ZIA seeks FDI, the authority has set-up a programme to be executed next year targeting capacity development in local authorities in terms of investor readiness and in attracting them to encourage domestic investment.
ZIA issues investment licences within five days but is aiming to do it in one day.
Macro-economic Planning and Investment Promotion deputy minister Monica Mutsvangwa said investments should be approved within the shortest possible time.
“The investors are bringing in their money and we will be doing ourselves a favour by making sure they register their companies within 24 hours. They are bringing in their money and need to be treated well as they also expect returns on their investment,” Mutsvangwa said.
“These inflows [investments] are to be directed to infrastructure projects ranging from energy and power development, roads, rail, aviation, telecommunications, water, sanitation and many others in the acceleration of the implementation of trade ventures and other private sector driven initiatives.”
She said if investors were not treated well, they would go elsewhere.

Police descend on MDC-T supporters, journos
via Police descend on MDC-T supporters, journos – The Standard October 25, 2015
BUSINESS came to a standstill in Rusape on Friday when anti-riot police stormed the local magistrate court where MDC-T Makoni organising secretary Tazviona Marima was being tried on criminal nuisance charges for allegedly flashing a red card inscribed, “Mugabe must go”.
BY KENNETH NYANGANI
Anti-riot police had been summoned to disperse over 200 MDC-T supporters who thronged the court to hear Marima’s case but were denied entry.
The MDC-T supporters, led by David Tekeshe — the opposition party’s Headlands constituency losing candidate — burst into song and dance, denouncing President Robert Mugabe and Zanu PF about 100m away from the court premises, demanding the release of Marima.
Police officers took turns to beat up Tekeshe with baton sticks and unleashed dogs on him. They later left him lying motionless on the ground.
Journalists were not spared, with freelance reporter Sydney Saize, Daily News reporter Bernard Chiketo and The Standard correspondent Kenneth Nyangani being arrested for covering the skirmishes.
They were taken to Rusape police station where they were quizzed for over two hours before being released without charge.
Problems for Marima started last weekend when he applied for police clearance to hold demonstrations against “Zanu PF’s misrule.”
Marima’s letter to the police reads: “The intended date of demonstration shall be October 23 from 0900 to 1730.
“People will be waving some placards and banners saying Robert G Mugabe must go now, he failed because he has broken his oath of office and abused his powers and approved violence.”
Marima’s world, however, crumbled when he was summoned to the police station to receive his reply on Wednesday.
He said that he was openly told by officer commanding police Rusape District, Chief Superintendent Garikai Gwangwava that there was no space for demonstrations against Mugabe.
Marima alleged police officers then took turns to assault him.
Gwangwava’s reply to Marima reads: “The wording of your letter clearly indicates that your organisation seeks to incite people to remove a democratically elected Head of State, which is an unlawful activity. Therefore, my office will not fold arms and let such activity take place.”
Marima was remanded out of custody on $100 bail.
Gwangwava could not be reach-ed for comment yesterday.

Govt mulls emergency power imports
via Govt mulls emergency power imports – The Standard October 25, 2015
GOVERNMENT is mulling the importation of power from the region in 2016 to supplement local production, a government official has said.
BY TARISAI MANDIZHA
Zimbabwe used to import power from Eskom (South Africa), Zesco of Zambia and Electricidad de Mozambique (EDM) before the countries cut off supplies for non-payment. The region has a power shortfall of 8 247 megawatts, resulting in limited access to power imports.
Energy and Power Development minister Samuel Undenge said the country was negotiating with other power utilities from the region and independent power producers (IPPs) to access emergency power and the supplies would come on line next year.
“There is a possibility of importing emergency power from the region. Discussions are underway for possible imports to resume in early 2016. However, it should be noted that emergency power is not cheap. It comes at a premium,” Undenge said.
Undenge said the Kariba Power Station was generating at an average of 475MW and Hwange was producing about 578MW from an installed capacity of 920MW, but government could not augment supplies through imports.
Zimbabwe is a member of the Southern African Power Pool (Sapp), a cooperation of national electricity companies from 12 Sadc member countries.
Sapp coordination centre manager Lawrence Musaba said the regional average electricity growth rate stood at 4,6% per annum against a consumption rate of 400 kilowatt per hour.
He said Sapp had an installed capacity of 58 608MW but the available capacity was at 52 589MW against an operating capacity of 46 910MW, leaving a shortfall of 8 247MW.
Zimbabwe’s electricity generation yesterday was pegged at 1 077MW against a national requirement in excess of 2 200MW.
Undenge said government had identified medium quick-win projects which would be implemented in the next three years.
“You will agree with me that energy is the main enabler of Zim-Asset goals. We are, therefore, making every effort to increase its availability. The measures I alluded to above are immediate. We have also identified medium quick-win projects which we are vigorously pursuing and are well on the way to being implemented. These should add 340MW to the national grid within the next 36 months,” he said.
He said they would repower the Bulawayo Thermal Station and government had already secured a line of credit valued at $87 million from India. The repowering works, expected to take 24 months, would add 60MW onto the grid.
The Harare repowering project will cost $70,2 million with 85% of the cost promised by the Indian Exim Bank. The project will take 24 months to complete and will add 90MW to the grid.
The Munyati repowering project went to tender and adjudication of the bids is currently taking place. The construction period is 24 months and additional power to the grid will be 70MW. The Mutare Emergency peaking plant running on diesel or gas will give an output of 120MW. The project cost is $92 million and the tender was won by Helcraw Electrical Pvt Ltd. Construction is expected to take 18 months.
Undenge said Kariba Hydro Power Station was already being expanded.
“This work is already well underway and on target with completion of the first and second units expected end of 2017 and early 2018 respectively,” Undenge said.
He said the financial closure for the 2x 300MW expansion of Hwange Thermal Power Station was expected before year-end, with works commencing in the first half of 2016.
On the 30MW Gairezi Small Hydro Power plant, Undenge said the project had gone to tender and the winner should be announced before the end of the year.
“I have heard that some of you are thinking on planned future investments in your sector as you are not sure whether there will be enough power. Please go ahead and plan for any size project as I am assuring you that going forward, power shortage will be a thing of the past. Consider these planned projects,” he said.
Commenting on the Batoka Power Plant, he said the feasibility study for the 2 400MW Batoka Hydro Power Plant on the Zambezi River was about to be completed and this would be shared equally between Zambia and Zimbabwe.
He said the conclusion of the feasibility studies would pave way for the next phase of procuring the contracts and securing funding.
Apart from the government projects, Undenge said there were independent power producers working on a number of projects, which included the 600MW China Africa Sunlight Energy plant at Gwayi, the 600MW Southern Energy Thermal Power Station at Hwange and the 600MW Lusulu Thermal Power Station at Binga.
He said the licensed small hydro power projects which had been developed included Pungwe A 3MW, B 15MW and C Duri and Nyamingura, adding there were other small independent power producers scattered around the country.
He said energy was also being produced from Bagasse at Chisumbanje for 18MW and at Triangle and Hippo Valley 78MW.
“The planned projects will utilise conventional sources of energy such as coal. As they say, we can’t keep all our eggs in one basket, we need to broaden our sources of primary energy. One area we have decided to vigorously pursue is the use of solar energy. Zimbabwe has enormous solar energy potential which, if exploited, can supply approximately 10 000gigawatt hours of electrical energy per year,” he said.
The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (Zera) has licensed IPP solar projects with a total installed capacity of around 155MW which are at various stages of development.
Undenge also mentioned the three solar plants which the government intends to construct in Gwanda, Insukamini and Munyati. “We hope that at least one of these can now be implemented as soon as possible in order to alleviate the power shortages,” he said.
The Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) managing director Noah Gwariro said ZPC required about $6,5 billion to fully fund all the ZPC projects.
“Funding these projects has proved challenging when ZPC presents Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company [Zetdc] as the off-taker. Most financial institutions feel that ZETDC is not a credible off-taker,” he said.
“Given the legacy loans on the ZPC balance sheet, most institutions prefer a clean entity, hence the formation of an SPV for the Kariba project.
“For security reasons, revenue from existing power plants is ring fenced to the expansion or refurbishment of that particular power plant, leaving Greenfield power plants like solar and CBM to be project financed,” Gwariro said.
According to ZETDC’s System Development Plan, the power demand forecast is expected to reach about 3540MW by 2018.

Mujuru’s strategy questioned
via Mujuru’s strategy questioned – The Standard October 25, 2015
FORMER Vice-President Joice Mujuru’s lack of clarity on her political future has raised suspicion she could still harbour ambitions to return to Zanu PF as a successor to President Robert Mugabe.
BY RICHARD CHIDZA
After she was fired from government last December, Mujuru apologised to Zimbabweans for having been part of Mugabe’s “ruinous” leadership.
She has issued statements pledging to continue working for Zimbabweans and correct her mistakes, even going to the extent of publishing an alternative blueprint.
However, Mujuru has to date not spelt out her future role in politics despite indications by her-profile sympathisers that she would lead a formation known as People First (PF) to challenge Mugabe in the 2018 elections.
The decorated war veteran has rarely appeared in public and on the few occasions she has spoken, it has been through media statements, leaving many of her sympathisers guessing.
Academic Ibbo Mandaza said Mujuru’s strategy could mean that she still harbours ambitions to lead Zanu PF in a post-Mugabe period, making the PF project only a decoy.
“My understanding of what is happening is that the likes of [Rugare] Gumbo and [Didymus] Mutasa are indeed speaking on Mujuru’s behalf, but she is still hedging her bets,” Mandaza said.
“The pre-congress structures, we understand, are still intact and she has a groundswell of support across the country although it might be confusing given the palpable anger against Mugabe.
“There is need to juggle between these and check which is which because these two seem to be interlinked.
“It is clear that the numbers are on her side; the nine chairpersons, the 17 or so Cabinet ministers, the over 100 disgruntled MPs and senior leaders would turn the tide in her favour, but then as [First Lady] Grace Mugabe and others have argued, as long as the levers of the State are not on her side, it will remain a pipe dream.”
Mujuru, several Cabinet ministers and Zanu PF officials were fired for allegedly plotting to topple Mugabe through witchcraft and hired assassins. She has denied the allegations and challenged her accusers to prove them in court.
Mandaza said given the fact that at the time of her sacking, Mujuru reportedly commanded majority support within the former liberation movement, it would not make sense to “form a party and begin anew”.
“It would be foolhardy for Mujuru to turn around and form a party when they have claimed that they were and are still in the majority inside Zanu PF,” he said.
“It is probably of strategic importance to keep the noises about a possible formation of a party, but this does not explain why they have held back.
“If and when the ultimate happens [Mugabe dies or steps down] as the likes of [Higher and Tertiary Education minister] Jonathan Moyo have said, there will be a mini-congress and it will be difficult to stop Mujuru’s people from participating in the provincial process that ultimately feeds into the election of a new leader.”
But Gumbo, who has assumed the position of de facto PF spokesperson — in the absence of a proper party-set-up — dismissed suggestions Mujuru wanted to return to Zanu PF.
“Zanu PF is dead and buried. There is no way we will go back because given the continued infighting, there is nothing left to lead. There is no semblance of a party anymore,” Gumbo said.
Gumbo said Mujuru’s silence was part of a strategy to protect her while the groundwork for the launch of PF was being laid.
“We believe in the philosophy of the beehive, in which the queen bee must be protected at all costs while the workers mobilise resources,” he said.
“Sooner rather than later, she will come out and speak, but this is strategic because we are living in extremely dangerous times.”
Leading securocrats in Mugabe’s government have threatened Mujuru with fire and fury if she joins the opposition ranks.
Mandaza said Mujuru could benefit from the chaos engulfing Zanu PF and suggested Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa might be ameanble to a re-unification of the former guerrilla movement.
After orchestrating Mujuru’s ouster last year and then turning out to be the biggest beneficiary by taking her position both in the party and government, Mnangagwa has faced renewed threats to his quest to succeed Mugabe.
The emergence of a new group of Young Turks known as Generation 40 (G40) has been flagged as one potential hurdle for Mnangagwa’s ambitions to take over from the 91-year-old leader.
The group, reportedly comprising, among others, Moyo and Local Government minister Saviour Kasukuwere, as well as Mugabe’s nephew Patrick Zhuwao, has roped in the support of the sharp-tongued Grace.
Grace has been making insinuations against Mnangagwa and attacking him through innuendos with support from the acerbic Moyo.
“The immediate post-Mugabe era could herald a Zanu PF reunification and given Mnangagwa’s precarious position at the moment, he would possibly take refuge in that,” Mandaza said.
“But if Mugabe survives up to 2018, it would be prudent for Mujuru and her allies to form a party and take on whoever Zanu PF will put forward as a candidate. Meanwhile, the infighting within Zanu PF has become chronic”.
University of Zimbabwe political scientist Eldred Masunungure said Mujuru could be doing a delicate balancing act while she awaits the right time to return to Zanu PF.
“Mujuru‘s silence may mean several things. It might be strategic because she might still think there is a possibility of a return to Zanu PF,” he said.
“She might still believe that the door has not been firmly shut in her face yet, hence the need to tread carefully and try not to irritate those within the party too much.
“Mujuru is Zanu PF and [she] might have harboured thoughts of dying in that party until last year. I think she might be suffering from withdrawal symptoms, that she still cannot believe that she was kicked out.
“It is rational to speculate then that Mujuru might indeed have met with Mugabe with a view to return, because she has an umbilical cord both with the party and in particular with Mugabe.
“She has known no other political mentor and home,” Masunungure said.
He said Mujuru still had support in Zanu PF, which makes a return to the party in the post- Mugabe era a possibility.
“She might be banking on the internal support that I think is still very much alive and it is difficult for now to tell whether she has more support outside Zanu PF than inside the party,” Masunungure added.
“Mujuru could, therefore, be bidding her time and watching events before taking the plunge either way.”

Zim on standby, waits for Mugabe to go
via Zim on standby, waits for Mugabe to go – New Zimbabwe 24/10/2015
THE broad avenues lined with lilac trees in Harare show no images of 91-year-old President Robert Mugabe, but his presence towers over the country he has ruled for 35 years.
“The whole country is on standby. We are just waiting for him to die,” said Evans, a taxi business owner.
Complaints abound about Mugabe’s authoritarian rule, which is seen as having ravaged what was once one of the region’s most promising economies.
But the president, who participated in the liberation struggle against white minority rule in the 1960s and 70s and seized the land of about 6,000 white farmers to redistribute it to more than 240,000 blacks, also commands respect.
“He has done more to empower black people than any other African leader,” Evans admitted.
The expulsion of experienced white farmers contributed to a decade-long crisis that cut the economy by half and forced Zimbabwe to replace its inflated currency with the US dollar in 2009.
Western sanctions over human rights violations, indigenisation laws requiring that 51% of major companies must be owned by locals, and massive corruption have scared investors away.
Less than 700,000 people are officially employed, said Gideon Shoko, deputy secretary general of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions.
That leaves about 80% of the workforce struggling to make a living in the informal sector, far above the official unemployment rate of 11%.
Children reduced to beggars
A plunge in maize production and the high prices of food imported from South Africa have aggravated the situation of many families, which may skip meals and not have money to send their children to school, according to locals in Harare and Victoria Falls.
Children beg under Harare’s traffic lights. Some women are resorting to prostitution, while poorly paid police officers erect road blocks to extract bribes from motorists, residents said.
Health centres treat poor people in exchange for their relatives cleaning wards.
“A few of my relatives died because of lack of money for treatment,” businessman Norest Marara said.
Power cuts paralyse an industrial sector running at less than 40% of its capacity, according to the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries.
Some Harare neighbourhoods only have electricity between 10pm and 6am, with women cooking on fires in yards where people chat in the dark.
“Mugabe may not last much longer,” a Western diplomat said about the veteran leader who falls asleep at public functions, read the same speech twice, and reportedly keeps travelling to Asia for medical treatment.
“Everything here revolves around one man. And when he goes, a volcano will erupt,” said Obert Gutu, spokesman for the main opposition party Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).
In its decades in power, Mugabe’s Zanu PF has taken the country firmly in its grip, ranging from state-owned companies to local chiefs and farmers who say they vote for the ruling party for fear of losing their land that officially belongs to the state.
Demonstrations are repressed with a heavy hand.
At least three government critics have disappeared and more than 100 people have been charged with insulting the president over the past five years, while journalists keep getting arrested, said Kumbirai Mafunda from Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights.
Power struggles
Mugabe has refused to name a successor, allegedly to give his family time to secure its wealth.
“He is a Machiavellian strategist who pits Zanu PF factions against each other,” said political analyst Eldred Masunungure from the University of Zimbabwe.
A power struggle is reportedly raging between Mugabe’s deputy Emmerson Mnangagwa and a group of ambitious politicians, including Higher Education Minister Jonathan Moyo and former minister Saviour Kasukuwere.
The group is pretending to campaign for the presidency of first lady Grace Mugabe in an attempt to sideline Mnangagwa, according to analysts.
After Mugabe dies or retires, “we may see violence” between Zanu PF factions, Gutu said.
Analysts say the party may win the 2018 elections with rigging and intimidation – but it also enjoys real support.
“When Mugabe dies, many people will shed genuine tears,” Masunungure said, adding that the much-criticized president will also leave a positive legacy.
He is seen as having improved education and health care in the country with a literacy rate of 90% – high for Africa.
The land redistribution – despite its chaotic and sometimes violent nature and favouritism to Mugabe’s cronies – is widely seen as an act of social justice.
“There is a consensus that it had to be done,” Gutu said.
Mnangagwa – a former intelligence chief associated with violent crackdowns on the opposition – is likely to succeed Mugabe with the support of the army, Masunungure said.
He will not improve Zimbabwe’s human rights record, but may soften indigenisation laws to attract foreign investment, the analyst added.
If such changes took place in the country with a qualified workforce and rich mineral resources, “the economy could rebound spectacularly,” the Western diplomat said.
