A win, win scenario?5 Jul 2023 11:15
If, and when, we get the diamonds should have far reaching implications not only for Vast but for Zimbabwe and its future economic plans. Plans many of which are predicated on the return of foreign investors. The government is apparently trying to establish its creditability and encourage foreign investors to return after the disastrous Mugabe regime. So the implications for Vast and potential business investors, both old and new, is critical for the future economic growth of Zimbabwe. If they can be seen to deal as fairly and openly as possible with Vast, and do it in a legal and transparent manner, they stand to gain enormous credablity and favourable publicity, not only in the eyes of many investors, but the governments of other countries. I am convinced that many businesses are watching and waiting for the final outcome of what appears to be a battle about democracy, the actions of the government of Zimbabwe, respect for the rule of law and the outcome of Vast's legitimate claim for the safe return of its diamonds.
