Indigenous businesspeople and legal practitioners have implored government to prioritise amending the Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Act and the Labour Act when aligning laws to the new Constitution.

The stakeholders said the two laws were key to the successful implementation of the Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic Transformation, Government's 5-year economic blueprint up to 2018.

Economic analysts have long expressed concern that current labour laws made it difficult to reduce staffing costs by aligning them with business realities, a development that increases production costs and weighed down the wider economy.
