Impala platinum Holdings (Implats) says its Zimbabwean operation, Zimplats, is set to spur the group's growth forecasts despite economic and political shortcomings.

This comes as the South Africa-based platinum group metals producer - an 87% shareholder in Zimplats - has suffered a setback from massive labour unrest at most of its mines.

Some of its mines have either been shut down by the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (Amcu) - instigated strike or have been forced to stockpile their concentrate production because its Rustenburg smelter has been closed.
