Discussions to incorporate informal sector employees under social protection cover on a voluntary basis have begun, a NSSA general manager James Matiza has said.

The development comes at a time more than three quarters of the population were directly involved in the sector.

He said the authority would attend a Sadc meeting scheduled for later this month to learn more on the issue.

Matiza said the main challenge would be on consistency from the informal sector as they might be able to contribute at first, but stop later, posing serious administrative problems to the authority.

Meanwhile, NSSA has engaged a consultant to construct a $10 million shopping mall in Chipinge as investment efforts intensify.

Matiza said the authority was working with a consultant on the construction of the mall.
