Nedbank Zimbabwe has participated as a platinum sponsor at the 2022 Chamber of Mines AGM and conference. The three-day conference attracted the entire mining value chain and government officials, including His Excellency, President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Key discussions were centred around the prospects presented by the Zimbabwean mining sector and the forecast to grow the industry towards achievement of the USD12 billion mining industry by 2023.

The financial services sector was encouraged to support the mining industry, including small-scale miners who have also become key players in the economy.

Nedbank hosted a Women in Business conference themed 'Step up and build your legacy'. The event was hosted in partnership with Connie Ferguson, a South African businesswoman, actress and producer. Other presenters were Tanya Masiywa, director on the Econet Board, and Chiedza Mahovo of Pigberry Butchery. The event drew women from all walks of life - women in business, women from the arts and the corporate world. The Nedbank Managing Director, Sibongile Moyo shared the Nedbank proposition to the delegates and encouraged women to engage the business to formalise their operations and create bankable businesses for the growth of the enterprises.

From the event, Nedbank created synergies with small organisations where it participated at various workshops to empower small-to-medium enterprises such as the 'Unparalleled Woman Expo' and the 'Entrepreneur Get Together' workshop.
