AIM-listed Vast Resources, which has operations in Zimbabwe and Romania, has raised £4,8 million through a placing of almost 400 million ordinary shares of 0,1p at a price of 0,132p. BY MTHANDAZO NYONI In a statement, the company revealed that the previously announced detailed term sheet with an international bank had been agreed between the bank’s executive team and Vast Resources. The company said the term sheet had been submitted to the bank’s credit committee for approval. On Wednesday, Vast said it had “raised £4 846 579 90 gross through a placing of 3 671 651 439 ordinary shares of 0,1p in the company at a price of 0,132p per ordinary share.” The placing was undertaken by the company’s joint broker, Axis Capital Markets Ltd. Andrew Prelea, chief executive officer of Vast said the asset-backed debt facility was a key corporate and commercial objective for the firm. He said he believed it would prove beneficial for shareholders as they moved into 2021. “This is clearly recognised by the new and existing investors who have participated in today’s placing and I believe that this development will provide Vast with the financial optionality to successfully capitalise on the anticipated ramp up to full production at our Baita Plai Polymetallic Mine,” he said. Last year, Vast signed a joint venture with a community-owned company ahead of the signing, in October, of an agreement with the Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Company to start mining at Chiadzwa. A joint venture agreement was reached with Chiadzwa Mineral Resources, a company designated to represent the Chiadzwa community interests in the diamond concession. The new venture was named Katanga Mining. Prelea said at the time: “This is the beginning of an exciting era in Zimbabwe, and working together with government and the community has been a great pleasure. Being a part of this landmark project is of great significance to all the stakeholders, being a first of its kind where the community will have a direct benefit from the natural resources in their community. “Given the complexities of the matters that have had to be taken into consideration, we are very happy with the results to date. I would like to thank the company’s team on the ground in Zimbabwe as well as the government of Zimbabwe for all the guidance and support that they have given in the whole project,” he said. Vast has sold its gold interests in Pickstone and Eureka mines to Padenga Holdings to focus on the diamond project.

A Marginalised Yemeni Community Descended From Africa
No community in Yemen has suffered more from the current war than Al-Muhamasheen — a term which literally translates to ‘the marginalised ones.’
A name adopted by members of the ethnic group themselves to escape the derogatory term of ‘Akhdam’ i.e. ‘servants’ in the Yemeni spoken Arabic dialect — by which they are often referred by the rest of the broader Yemeni society.
A society in which the Muhamasheen have experienced centuries of discrimination, exploitation and poverty — judged as the lowest part of the social hierarchy.
Who Are the People of this Black Community?
While there are no official statistics on the size of the Yemini underclass community, the UN has reported that there are up to 3.5 million Muhamasheen in Yemen.
Many believe the ethnic origins of the group descends from enslaved African or Ethiopian soldiers from as far back as the sixth century. And although Yemen has officially abolished its caste system, the legacy of centuries of discrimination persists today.
War is Worse for \"Second-Class\" Citizens
Rawiah Saei, a member of the Muhamasheen community who has set up camp in a cave with her family after fleeing the violence. She shares the hardship she and her family are currently undergoing.
\"I feed my children lunch and dinner all at once in the afternoon. I always go to look for food and ask people. Sometimes my husband gets paid for work he does, and sometimes he doesn't. He sometimes brings one kilo of flour and sometimes he brings nothing. I swear, I cooked yesterday afternoon and kept the little leftovers we had for today. I swear sometimes we fall asleep hungry. We also can't find water and spend the whole day looking for it.\"
A History of Discrimination in Yemen
The dismal conditions of the cave sanctuary in which Rawiah Saei and her family find themselves are sadly not a far cry from the typical indecent lifestyles the Muhamasheen have been subjected to in Yemen for hundreds of years. The Muhamasheen have mostly been confined to slums on the outskirts of cities and relegated to menial low-paid — such as garbage collection and cleaning as they are typically blocked from economic opportunities and suffer from higher rates of unemployment.
To top it off, the justly self-named marginalised community also generally live in abject poverty and even lack access to basic services such as water, sanitation and education.
