Mining-induced displacement: Experiences of Arda Transau internally displaced persons.

Abstract

Development-induced displacement recently attracted intense attention. Recently, mining-induced displacement has been incorporated as an interesting area. In Zimbabwe Chiadzwa has become a hotspot for discussion about displacement. This study concentrated mainly on the challenges faced by people displaced from Chiadzwa to Arda Transau. Findings indicate that water and sanitation, the living conditions, change in economic activities and food insecurity are among the major challenges. IDPs engage in renting farms to mitigate some of these challenges. ZCDC and Anjin Investments are recommended to consider owning-up the promises made during the displacement period.
