Zimbabwe: Industrials +10.23%, USD 9.03m
A massive day in Harare seeing Padenga (99.77c, $5.1m) leading the way accounting for 57% of total market turnover, while there was some descent activity in Delta (222.34c, $2.37m) and Simbisa (71.96c, $1.10m) accounting for 26% and 12% of the market respectively.
