The Zimbabwe Leather Development Council (ZLDC) and Standards Association of Zimbabwe (SAZ), as part of strengthening their relationship for mutual benefit of the two organizations and the community at large, signed an MoU on May 26, 2015 in Harare, Zimbabwe. The MoU that describes duties and responsibilities of each party in the collaborative activities is considered as a landmark development for the newly established ZLDC and opens vast opportunities in product and systems developments in the leather sector for enhanced competitiveness in the local, regional and international markets.

COMESA-Leather and Leather Products Institute (COMESA/LLPI) announces with great appreciation the rejoining of Zimbabwe as full member of COMESA/LLPI since 2014. It is to be recalled that Zimbabwe was one of the founding members of the Institute but discontinued its membership for few years.
