Let’s just be clear that those moaning about Tanzania being ‘difficult’ was primarily due to the mining act. SHG pay fair wages, employ local people, supported Covid educational programs, provided ppe and are active in the community. That is not an expense it’s an investment. Sure VAT rebates are slow coming through but do you know what that’s not just Tanzania.
I could actually make a case against Scotgold (where I am also invested). Fiscally unstable with numerous tax changes. Difficult to get planning consent. Political risk with Scottish independence and Brexit. Impending tax bill from Covid, ageing demographic.
Pick your narrative!
The likes of Tanzania and Ghana are not bad places to do business.
