His thesis focussed on the implementation of the Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment (IEE) policy and laws to explore the variables that influence processes of policy implementation. The study sought to analyse the frameworks, instruments and strategies used in implementing IEE policy and laws in the mining sector of Zimbabwe. Three mining companies were purposively selected to enable the study to establish the practical experiences of compliance with IEE requirements. The study was exploratory and used a qualitative methodology in data gathering. Data was analysed using thematic and content analysis. Findings revealed that mining companies were at various levels of compliance with IEE requirements – some fully compliant, some partially compliant, others non- compliant. Key variables that influenced IEE implementation include intra-party factional politics, elite corruption, state capture, inappropriate IEE models and poor policy design. Findings point to the need to craft implementation models that are sensitive to national contextual dynamics and international trends.
