BEIJING - A Zimbabwe government official on Friday appealed to Chinese firms to invest in Zimbabwean mines, asking companies to ignore the country's recent troubles and strike now while the iron is hot.

4. Business: New Governor of South African Reserve Bank
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Reserve Bank Deputy Governor Gill Marcus says she is honoured by her new appointment as the South African Reserve Bank's (SARB) Governor. President Jacob Zuma today announced that Marcus will become Governor of SARB on November 9, 2009, taking over from current Governor Tito Mboweni. To read the full report, go to our NEWS DESK link.

Editor's Note: Our local reporter met and interviewed Gill Marcus at a conference at the Mount Nelson Hotel in Cape Town a few years ago, and observed that this is probably one of the best moves made by the present ANC Government and bodes well for the future of business and investment opportunities in South Africa.
