Control of Bindura Nickel Corp, Zimbabwe’s biggest nickel operation, has been sold to a company linked to an adviser of President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Sotic International., a Mauritius-based firm, bought a 74.73% stake in the company from Asa Resource Group, said Muchadeyi Masunda, Bindura’s chairperson. Sotic owns Zimbabwe’s Landela Mining Venture and is linked to Kudakwashe Tagwireyi, one of Mnangagwa’s advisers and the owner of chrome, fuel and agricultural assets in the country.
