New Steel Plant Project Breaks Ground in Zimbabwe
What happened
President Emmerson Mnangagwa broke ground on a new steel plant near Chivhu, which is being built at Manhize. The project is funded by Dinson Iron and Steel Company, a unit of Tsingshan Holdings. The first phase of the plant is targeted to produce 1.2 million tonnes of steel annually.

Why it matters
Zimbabwe previously imported virtually all of its steel, spending US$400 million on imports in 2021. The new facility, which includes a carbon and steel plant and an iron ore mine, is intended to reduce this reliance. Tsingshan Holdings already operates a coke plant in Hwange and owns Afrochine, which produces ferrochrome in Zimbabwe.
