The Oppenheimer family has secured a court interdict in Zimbabwe to block mineral exploration at its cattle ranch in Matabeleland South. | CdeLENIN
The 65 000-hectare Shangani Ranch holds at least 8 000 cattle and is believed to be rich in gold, silver, copper, antimony, lead, cobalt, manganese, zinc, nickel, chrome, graphite, and lithium.
Harare High Court Judge Siyabona Paul Musithu ruled that Pearline Mineral Exploration should stop"mineral mining activities whatsoever", at the ranch.The Oppenheimers argued before court that the farm had 400 employees who run an operation that exports beef to the United Kingdom. They said they hold 8 000 cattle at the ranch.
As such, Justice Musithu ruled that mining activities would affect the community as well as wildlife conservation. But it was reduced by more than half when the late president Robert Mugabe began the chaotic land reform that resulted in at least 4 000 white commercial farmers being displaced.
