South African miner Precious Mabuza, Chief Executive Officer of FS Mining, has donated more than half a million rand towards the upcoming ZANU PF 22nd National People’s Conference.
Mabuza, who is the daughter of the late David Dabede Mabuza, former Deputy President of South Africa donated US$50 000 (R861 500).
Mabuza’s support to ZANU PF
She donated the money to help facilitate the conference scheduled to take place in Mutare, Manicaland Province, from 13 to 18 October 2025.
Patrick Chinamasa, the party’s Treasurer General, confirmed during a ceremony at ZANU PF Headquarters in Harare on Monday, 6 October, that the donation had been made.
Mabuza attended the event with her brother, David Mabuza Jnr, FS Mining’s Operations Executive Officer, along with the company’s Communications Officer, Sepadi Thobejang, and Zimbabwe Resident Officer, Marimira.
Chinamasa said FS Mining, a South African-registered company, conducts chrome mining in the Zvishavane area and runs a minerals refinery in South Africa. He added that the firm plans to establish a chrome washing plant in Zimbabwe before the end of 2025, followed by a smelting plant project.
Mabuza hails Mnangagwa’s investment policy
Speaking during the handover, Mabuza said the donation was a gesture of appreciation for President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s investment policy, which she said promotes friendship and inclusivity.
“Our contribution is a token of gratitude for His Excellency‘s declaration that Zimbabwe is not only open for business but is also a friend to all and an enemy to none,” she said.
