Mthuli Ncube seeks funding from South African companies for Zimbabwean firms to buy locally sourced equipment

Fresh from being politely denied a bailout by SA’s government just a fortnight ago, Zimbabwean finance minister Mthuli Ncube said he had approached private investors in SA to inject funds into his country's cash-starved economy.Speaking after a cabinet briefing in Harare on Wednesday, Ncube confirmed that he presented “the begging bowl” to SA investors during his visit on Monday and Tuesday.

“The idea is to give capacity to our companies to source equipment from South African companies using resources from there. That is the nature of the loans we are negotiating. The Zimbabwean government was in a position to guarantee any loans taken up under the facility, Ncube said. “It’s quite a spread of investors and we hope that they can join us in this drive. I was able to meet some of the investors in Johannesburg and video conferenced with others in Cape Town and Durban.”

He must F off! We can’t afford to extend them loans, we are struggling with our own debt! Maybe they should reconsider their lifestyles and sort their priorities out!
