Korzim Strategic Minerals in contempt of court

Korzim Strategic Minerals has been found guilty of contempt of court by the High Court for filing false reports against Canterbury Mining (Private) Limited, a Dutch-owned mining company that has invested over USD 25 million in Zimbabwe since answering President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s call that “Zimbabwe is open for business.”

Despite a December 2025 High Court declaratory order nullifying Korzim’s mining claims and declaring Canterbury the lawful owner of mining operations in Shamva, court records show that Korzim continued to frustrate the foreign investor, culminating in a contempt ruling against them on 28 July 2026.

In a stinging rebuke, Justice Munangati-Manongwa found Korzim Strategic Minerals (Pvt) Ltd guilty of contempt of court under Case No.
