The City of Kadoma convened a breakfast meeting with local mining community representatives to discuss and explore business investment opportunities, and strategies for the betterment of Kadoma.

The meeting brought together small-scale miners, mining industry representatives, local business leaders, and Council officials to explore ways of leveraging Kadoma's rich mineral resources to drive sustainable development and job creation.
Addressing the stakeholders, the Acting Town Clerk Mr Mangwengwende highlighted Kadoma's strategic position in the gold-mining area as a low hanging fruit crucial in driving the City's economic growth. He indicated that it was therefore imperative for Kadoma and the mining sector to forge stronger relationship in order to build a prosperous City.
Discussions focused on improving investment, supporting formalisation of small-scale mining operations, and developing value-addition industries linked to mining activities. Kadoma's economy is heavily influenced by mining, particularly gold production, making the sector a key driver of local economic activity.
Speaking during the engagement, the miners welcomed the dialogue and called for improved ease of doing business with council, favourable supportive regulatory frameworks that would enable the sector to speed up their productivity such as response timeframe of proposals and contribute more effectively to local economic development.
City authorities reaffirmed their commitment to creating a business-friendly environment that attracts both domestic and international prospective investors. The meeting concluded with a commitment from stakeholders to continue engaging on initiatives that promote investment, employment creation, and inclusive economic growth in Kadoma and the the surrounding mining districts.
