"At independence in 1980, Zimbabwe inherited eight distinct minefields laid along borders with Mozambique and Zambia. The existence of mines and remnants of war posed a direct threat to human and animal life, denying communities access to land."

"Pursuant to the country’s obligation to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC), significant strides were made towards achieving a mine-free Zimbabwe. The initial mine hazardous area was over 310.65km²."

"Through efforts by the ZNA National Mine Clearance Unit supported by HALO Trust, NPA, MAG, and APOPO, only 10.093km² of the mined area remains to be cleared as at the end of October 2025."
