Zimbabwe is moving ahead with a new "indigenisation" law, known as the National Community Trust, which will force foreign companies to hand 51 per cent of shares to black Zimbabweans.<br /><br />Impala Platinum, a South African-owned company, has already agreed to turn over a 10 per cent of its stake in its Zimbabwean Zimplats operation. In September the government threatened to take away the company's licence to mine the world's second largest platinum reserves.<br /><br />More companies are expected to follow but some fear that the law is a plan to help strengthen President Robert Mugabe's hold on the country ahead of possible elections in 2012.<br /><br />Al Jazeera's Haru Mutasa reports from Selous, Zimbabwe.
