HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) -- President Robert Mugabe pledged Sunday to move ahead with plans to hand over 51 percent control of businesses to blacks under a controversial program.
During ceremonies Sunday marking the 30th anniversary of independence from colonial rule, Mugabe said the proposed business take overs are a concrete example of policies followed over the last three decades that enable locals to own the nation's resources.
The so-called indigenization and empowerment act was passed in 2008, when parliament was still dominated by Mugabe's lawmakers. The law came into force on March 1 and all businesses were given to April 15 to hand in proposals as to how they'd hand over 51 percent of their company to blacks. This included foreign and white-owned businesses.
