ERENCES26082023_UNILUS GBS 750[1] [Read-Only] - Word (Product Activation Failed)MAILINGS REVIEW VIEWNaboni EnterprisesNaboni Enterprises was established in the 1990s by Mr. Nicholas Menyanifollowing a decision by the government of Zambia to liberalize the Zambianeconomy. During the years preceding 1991, the Zambian government had ownedand ran business. Consequently, there was no opportunity for private sectorparticipation. All this changed in 1991 when the Zambian government decided toliberalize the economy and enacted policies to encourage the private sector to bethe major driver of economic development. It was this turn of events which openeda window of opportunity for Nicholas Menyani to establish Naboni Enterpriseswhich was established to supply transformers to the mining companies on theCopperbelt.Nicholas Menyani had worked as a technician for a mining company in Kitwe fortwenty-five years before his retirement in 1990. When he retired, he foundedNaboni Enterprises and set base in Kitwe, a town he was familiar with from hisworking days. The knowledge of Kitwe would later serve him well in winningcontracts from mining companies in and around Kitwe.Doing business with the mines was extremely profitable and Naboni Enterprisesprospered. The mining sector was key in the Zambian economy, but crucially,supplying to the mines was a lifeline to upcoming indigenous businesses. Facedwith rising unemployment in the country, the government had prevailed on miningcompanies to source supplies from local suppliers as a way of stemmingunemployment among Zambians. This arrangement suited both the miningcompanies and the local suppliers. Because local suppliers were all too oftensmall, fragmented and undercapitalized, the mining companies enjoyed bargainingpower over the local suppliers, such that the mining companies were able tonegotiate lower prices for the inputs they purchased. For the local suppliers,dealing with the mines provided them with a measure of sustainability.Then came the bombshell! In late 2000! a South African company was rumouredto show interest in supplying mining equipment and ancillary items to the mines inZambia. The Times of Zambia had carried a story of a meeting between officialsof the South African company and the Zambian Minister of Mines. Menyani wasalarmed by the potential entry of a South African firm into Zambia. It was commonknowledge that South Africa not only had wider mining experience than Zambiabut it also most likely could deliver whatever supplies were needed withoutdifficulty.Required:Angoff hoe defined14)oping and relating of the firmaWo ito
