NGZ regional manager (Mutare) Elizabeth Muusha said the initiatives would improve its brand and their broaden interactive approach with stakeholders and other government departments.
“We will engage the police, churches and other stakeholders such as National Aids Council, cellular network provider Econet, as well as other government departments such as the health, labour and education departments, in monthly conversations that are aimed at improving the NGZ brand,” she said.
Last week NGZ held discussions with churches on a topical issue of conflict management in workplaces.
“Stakeholders presence is critical as we aim to create a platform where artists, business people, and civil society discuss topical issues. This will enable us to learn about the society we live in,” said Muusha.
“This initiative has already seen the rising up of Shaurai poetry-music sessions that are already marketing the visual and performing arts. The session is a platform where visual artists meet and share ideas on the second Friday of every month.”
The NGZ will at the end of this month hold a Mining Open Call exhibition where they will discuss the Chiadzwa diamond rush.
