"Welcome, Your Majesty, for personally inspecting our factory!"
The director of the Harare City Chromium Mine, along with the leadership team, personally greeted Constantine's arrival. At Constantine's request, the chromium mine continued its operations and did not shut down because of the King's visit.
Black smoke and the coming and going of transport vehicles indicated the busy nature of this factory located in the city suburbs. Having received prior notice, the workers were working harder than usual.
To Constantine, the scale of this factory was surprisingly much smaller than that of the tobacco factory, which did not align with his perception of industrial and mining enterprises.
Therefore, Constantine asked the Governor of the Matebel Province, Gleining, who accompanied him: "Why is the tobacco factory so much larger than the chromium mine, and with better equipment?"
