THE proposed $1 billion investment in the Zimbabwe Iron and Steel Company by a Chinese investor is hanging in the balance amid indications the Government may consider floating a new tender to invite new investors.

Legal implications would be weighed before terminating the deal. This comes after Parliament this year passed legislation for the assumption of Zisco debts — $495 million — to make the former steel giant more attractive to investors and pave way for its revival.
