Shurugwi North Constituency legislator, Joseph Mpasi, highlighted the importance of the development towards the district’s GDP, and extended his gratitude to Valterra Platinum for the impact the company is going to bring to the community.
“This is a good initiative because it aligns with the second republic’s agenda of leaving no one and no place behind in the development matrix.
Surely, we are poised of great things as Shurugwi district through mining activities.
The local community is optimistic that the development by the new entity will transform their area,” he said.
The Shurugwi community is very optimistic about the rebranding exercise and is pinning its hopes on another renewed, fruitful relationship with the new entity, Valterra Platinum.
“From what they promised us, our lives will change for the better”. Before this rebranding and transmission of shares, we used to work well with the Anglo American Platinum group and we are hopeful that they will continue to work with us in the same manner,” said Chief Banga.
He said they were optimistic about Valterra Platinum bringing socio-economic developments such as clinics, schools as well as roads.
“Valterra Platinum has got a future and we are looking forward to them adding value by creating jobs for the community members. They have also invited the chiefs of the community, which is a great gesture because they are the ones who give guidance and knowledge about the place. Their initiative of creating value aligns with the Vision 2030,” he said.
