Robert Mugabe spent ten years in prison before assuming the presidency of Zimbabwe. Instead of learning from his time in prison, he brought all his poor habits of corruption to the country of Zimbabwe (“Zimbabwe’s” 1). During his powerful rule, Zimbabwe faced many different situations within his country. Within the first few years of Mugabe being president, Zimbabwe started to have some political and economical issues. Whether or not the issues are a direct correlation to Mugabe being president is unknown, but the timing is impeccable. Money was starting to disappear within the government causing an economic crisis, and Zimbabwe was having massive poverty and inflation increases. These issues led to the conspiracy of a corrupt government

It's a big process to mine these conflicts minerals. There are seven steps of the supply chain. There are 13 major mines two hundred in total. Twelve of the thirteen major controlled armed groups. Second trading houses in( Bukavo Goma) they use back large truck planes. Then there are exporters(Bukavo Goma). Next they transit them to different countries such ass (Ruwanda Uganda,and Burudi). Next they go to refiners metal processing companies (Asia) chemically process metals large furnaces. Then they go to the electronic companies (Samsung,Nokia,Canon,Intel ). And lastly the final product goes to you. How do you feel about that? We are guilty as a everyone else is for buying their products. We are basically supporting them because the more we buy from these companies the more they have to

Copper mines in mexico, gold and diamonds mines in South Africa increased wealth in the countries. The globe demanded these raw good so Mexico profited with copper from their mines, as well as south africa with their gold and diamonds mining. It increases productivity in the countries.

Minerals are a natural resource that is very important to Canada and its industries development. Canada is one of the leading countries when it comes to minerals due to the mining industries. Mines that provide us minerals in Canada include the Diamond Production in the far North, Voiseys Bay in Labradors, the Sudbury region, Arctic and Taiga region, and the boreal shield region. Miners play an effective role when it comes to minerals since they are really the ones providing us with these minerals. As well as the workers in industries who make oil and different things out of them. There have been many recent developments in Canada in the mineral industry, such as; Diamond production in the far north that is Canada’s latest mining success stories.

Zimbabwe’s history can be tracked back to the pre-colonial, Kingdom of Mapungubwe of the 13th century [Source I]. Zimbabwe was the African trading capital. The Mapungubwe kingdom traded in iron, copper, pottery, gold, beads, art, ivory and skins. The Mapungubwe kingdom had over a 100 tributaries and controlled the whole of Southern Africa, but was headquartered in Zimbabwe. The prince of the Mapungubwe kingdom then decided to travel north in search of salt but on this journey, he was faced by

New taxes are always worrisome, and the Australian government's recent decision to pass a 30 percent tax on profits from iron ore and coal have left many investors scurrying in search of other investment opportunities in alternate countries with lower tax rates and labor costs (Scott 2011). However, simply looking at a balance sheet to determine average tax rates and wages is only a small component of deciding whether a country is a worthwhile investment. With this caveat in mind, it must be cautioned that the proposed decision to shift resources to investing in the coal mining sector in Colombia and the iron ore sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo is neither viable nor cheaper in the long run. In fact, given the marked political instability in both regions, such a move could cause great potential losses.

Australia’s supply of resources attract a lot of foreign investment. Currently there is a large investment channel, but lower commodity prices and high project costs have led to reduced value of their investment channels.

In today’s world of global trading, multinational corporations that are looking to expand on profits turn out to operate against the welfares of the world’s poorest countries. In the documentary, “Stealing Africa,” the film director, Christoffer Guldbrandsen, brings forward the concerning economic attention of the country of Zambia, located in South Africa. Zambia is known as the third largest copper reserves across the world, owned by multinational corporations globally. Due to such a heavy abundance of natural resources in Africa, the majority of the economy of Zambia revolves around the mining industry, which is like the backbone of the country. As the natural resources in Zambia remain rich, multinational companies, specifically Glencore, grew in investments resulting in the guilt of tax avoidance and undervaluing copper, which resulted in a downfall for the revenue of copper in the nation of Zambia. Guldbrandsen talks about the country of Zambia’s abundance of natural resources, yet their struggle to remain above the poverty line, as it is ranked in the top 20 poorest countries. Guldbrandsen insists that due to privatization starting from the year of 2001, the mining industry in Zambia has taken a downfall. Although the country of Zambia is very rich in resources, maintains the top copper mine in the world, a person a day lives below a dollar and almost eighty percent of the population remains unemployed.

Canada has a long history in mining of a number of minerals which include copper, nickel, Uranium, potash, gold and diamonds among others. It also has a refining industry which makes it a producer of aluminium and refined copper and nickel. Foreign capital has always played a role in the development of the mining industry until recently when the domestically controlled companies have begun to play a more significant role. The mining industry has once being under a brief wave of nationalisation which resulted in a restrictive foreign investment regime. And now a relatively liberal regime has been in place. Foreign direct investment flows to the mining sector have increased rapidly recent growing from under $5 billion to over $20 billion from

Historically, land reform programs in South Africa and Zimbabwe has been similar in some respects. It is necessary to briefly review the history of each country in respect to this cleavage to better understand current discontinuities and to note the clear differences in contemporary land reform that are being implemented in the two countries.

Foreign direct investments differ substantially from indirect investments such as portfolio flows, wherein overseas institutions invest in equities listed on a nation's stock exchange. Entities making direct investments typically have a significant degree of influence and control over the company into which the investment is made. Open economies with skilled workforces and good growth prospects tend to attract larger amounts of foreign direct investment than closed, highly regulated economies. (Investopedia,

The South African economy is second largest economy in Africa following Nigeria (which recently overtook South Africa according to the Economist) (Mail & Guardian, 2014). From the early 2000s, Former President Thabo Mbeki promoted economic growth and foreign investment by relaxing labour laws, increasing the pace of privatisation, and reducing unnecessary governmental spending. His policies faced strong opposition from organised labour. From the mid 2000s, economic growth picked up significantly; both employment and capital formation increased which resulted in South Africa to be considered as an emerging market; formally joining BRICS in 2010 (World Bank, 2014). The policy exhibited over the past few years has resulted in macro stabilization successes and enhanced policy legitimacy. However, the growth and unemployment challenge facing South Africa is significant one. Investment rates are currently low, furthermore the legacy of apartheid is evident in the persistent distortions in all factor markets: for labour, as evident in the scale and persistence of unemployment and inadequate investment in human capital; for capital, in the low savings/investment rates (Lewis, 2012).
