Namibia wants foreign mining companies to start processing minerals before exporting them to create jobs and enable the government to raise more revenue through export tax, Prime Minister Nahas Angula has said. Namibia is one of the world’s largest diamond producers and also has minerals such as uranium, while foreign firms are also exploring for gold, lead, zinc and iron ore. “[The] government is not in favour of the export of Namibian minerals without adding value to them,” Angula said last week at Rio Tinto meeting.

Namibia needs more revenue to develop our country and it's people. One way is to ensure foreign mines start to add value to minerals in Namibia and award the contracts to Namibians.
Let us pray for the growing mining industry. That God will bless them, but also make them a blessing to the nation.
And let us not forget who God is and what He did:
God is the Creator: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1
God is the Owner: 'The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the LORD Almighty. Haggai 2:8
