The food giant H. J. Heinz, one of Zimbabweâs first major foreign investors, sold its Zimbabwe interests to Cottco, a government-controlled cotton company. Cottco paid $6.8 million for Heinzâs 49 percent stake in Olivine Industries, a Zimbabwe company that makes fats, edible oils and soaps. The government previously shared ownership of Olivine with Heinz. Industry executives dismissed reports in the state media that called the Heinz deal the first in a much-publicized program by the government to take over white-controlled businesses. The executives said the deal was in negotiation months before plans were announced by President Robert G. Mugabe this year to force all businesses to yield 51 percent of their ownership to black Zimbabweans, a campaign the government calls âindigenization.â Heinz was one of the first major foreign investors after independence in 1980.
