KAMATIVI Mining Company (KMC) has commissioned a community water purification and distribution system supplying between 50 and 60 cubic metres of treated water daily to five distribution points, with the capacity to meet the needs of approximately 600 households in Kamativi, Hwange District, Mining Zimbabwe can report.

The project, commissioned on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, was accompanied by the handover of a newly constructed community landfill with a capacity exceeding 7,000 cubic metres and the official launch of a free community medical clinic.
The ceremony, held at Kamativi Community Hall, was attended by Hwange District Development Coordinator Nyaradzo Masocha, traditional leaders, local government representatives and officials from Mutapa Energy Resources, KMC’s shareholder.

Speaking at the event, Mutapa Energy Resources Chief Executive Innocent Rukweza said community development had been incorporated into KMC’s operations since the company resumed activities at Kamativi Mine in September 2022.

He said the company had undertaken several community projects, including the construction of a 2.5-kilometre paved road, a solar-powered community well, electricity supply to Kamativi Clinic and the construction of school classrooms, alongside a scholarship programme.
Rukweza said KMC had also established engagement structures involving community water, health and education committees to identify local needs, address concerns and participate in planning and implementing development projects.
KMC General Manager Jack Ye JianGuo said the newly commissioned water system incorporates several treatment stages, including sedimentation, ion-exchange resin softening, three-stage filtration, precision filtration, reverse osmosis membranes and ultraviolet sterilisation.
The system draws from the mine camp reservoir and has five established distribution points supplying between 50 and 60 cubic metres daily. According to Ye, this is sufficient to meet the clean water requirements of approximately 600 households, averaging 100 litres per family per day.
To ensure continuity of supply, KMC has introduced a management arrangement combining company oversight of the main water valves with community section-leader management. The company is also advancing automated electronic valve upgrades.

Beyond water provision, KMC has completed a new community landfill with a capacity exceeding 7,000 cubic metres, while the launch of the free medical clinic adds healthcare services to its community development programme.
Hwange District Development Coordinator Nyaradzo Masocha said the five distribution points would ease the burden on households that previously faced long walks and queues to access clean water.
She noted that women and girls had particularly borne the burden of water collection, often sacrificing time that could otherwise be spent on education and economic activities.
Masocha commended KMC for investing in infrastructure that directly addresses community needs, describing the project as an example of practical corporate social responsibility.
She urged residents to establish and support water point committees, report faults promptly and protect the facilities against vandalism and misuse.
The DDC also called on KMC, Hwange Rural District Council and relevant government technical departments to collaborate on maintenance and monitoring to ensure the systems remain operational.
The developments add to KMC’s community infrastructure investments since resuming operations at Kamativi Mine in 2022, as the company continues to pursue its mining development programme in Hwange District.
