The Mining Industry Pension Fund (MIPF) has called on professionals in the mining and engineering sectors to take retirement planning seriously and start preparing early in their careers.
Speaking to Great Dyke News on the sidelines 27th edition of the Mine Entra Expo in Bulawayo, Pension Fund Manager Thulani Ndlovu emphasized the importance of financial preparedness, saying proactive planning is key to securing a stable future after active employment.
The call comes as more than 240 exhibitors from the mining, engineering, transport, and construction sectors gather at the Zimbabwe International Exhibition Centre for the annual showcase, which runs under the theme “Beyond Extraction: Sustaining the Future of Mining.”
The expo, which ends on Friday, provides a platform for industry players to network, forge partnerships, and address challenges affecting their operations.
Among the exhibitors is E4Engineering, a machining and fabrication specialist participating for the first time. Managing Director Byron Meyer said the event has opened doors for new business collaborations and growth opportunities.
Meanwhile, Acting President General (Rtd) Dr. Constantino Chiwenga officially opened the exhibition, reaffirming government’s commitment to fostering a sustainable and value-driven mining industry.
Now in its 27th year, Mine Entra continues to serve as Zimbabwe’s premier platform for promoting innovation, investment, and sustainability across the mining and engineering value chain.
