Officers of the Minerals Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe (MMCZ) have tightened checks on mineral consignments leaving the country through Forbes Border Post. Corporate communications executive Pretty Musonza explained that the corporation's mineral resource accounting team now sits at the centre of the process at the busy crossing. Before any cargo moves, the team checks the export documents that traders present at the border. Every consignment is then examined against the declarations the exporter lodged with the authorities. Any gap between the paperwork and what is actually loaded on the trucks raises questions and can hold the shipment back. Forbes Border Post carries a steady flow of trade between Zimbabwe and Mozambique, which makes it a sensitive point for mineral leakage. The firmer routine forms part of the corporation's push to keep closer accounts of the minerals leaving the country.
