Keep: It seems like this company has decent news coverage in local sources. The article was just recently created in April 2024. Rainsage (talk) 15:07, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
:I added more info & citations to the page to make its notability more obvious. the company has been mentioned in coverage of Zimbabwe's tobacco industry, including articles about smuggling, a British American Tobacco scandal, government corruption (the founder is related to Mugabe), etc. its various actions have been extensively covered in local news sources.
