Rio Tinto gives in while MDC argues to 'Nationalise Diamonds'

In line with the indigenisation program, companies were obliged to submit proposals on their plans to transfer 51% of their stocks by september 25. Most companies missed this deadline. Rio Tinto, one of the world biggest mining multinatinals, also missed this deadline but now states it will surrender 51% of their stake in Zimbabwe.

At the same time, MDC is preparing to propose a motion to 'Nationalise alluvial diamonds' and revise the indigenisation policy with the goal to improve the countries economy and control of mining resources.
