‘Southern Africa must harness natural resources for economic growth’

VICE-PRESIDENT Constantino Chiwenga has challenged the southern Africa region to harness its natural resources for economic growth at a time when some developed countries are benefiting from them.

The continent is endowed with an abundance of energy-generating natural resources, including vast sunlight for solar power, hydropower potential, minerals reserves, gas deposits and wind energy resources.

Speaking at the Sadc 2026 Sustainable Energy Week, Chiwenga commended organisers for coming up with the event, a hub which gathers energy experts from the region.
