Former Securities and Exchange Commission of Zimbabwe (SECZ)’s chief executive officer Tafadzwa Chinamo has been appointed substantive Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency (ZIDA) CEO.
Chinamo replaces the late Douglas Munatsi who died in a fire that gutted his flat in Harare last year.
Before Chinamo’s appointment, Mrs Duduzile Shinya served as acting ceo.
In a statement, ZIDA said, “In line with Section 9 (1) of the ZIDA Act and on behalf of His Excellency, The President of the Republic of Zimbabwe Dr E. D Mnangagwa, we are pleased to advise of the following appointments and confirm executive committee deployments in a bid to strengthen the Agency, improve investment facilitation and strategic partner engagement.”
ZIDA said Chinamo is an accomplished business leader and executive with proven experience in finance, investments and regulation spanning over 28 years.
“He began his career at the then Zimbabwe Development Bank (now IDBZ) as a Research Analyst before moving to Kingdom Securities Holding Limited where he progressively held positions of Investment Analyst, Fund Manager, General Manager and Managing Director of Kingdom Asset Management (KAM).
“He left KAM to take up the position of Managing Director of Zimnat Asset Management before joining the Securities and Exchange Commission of Zimbabwe in July 2011 as CEO, a position he held until his retirement in January 2022,” said ZIDA.
“Tafadzwa is an avid strategist and institution builder who views successful outcomes as both achieving specific objectives and improving an organisation’s ability to deal with its next wave of challenges.
“Tafadzwa has in-depth experience in research and investment analysis, structuring and developing businesses, raising capital, developing rules and regulations and engaging stakeholders at all levels. Mr Chinamo holds BSc degrees in Mathematics and Statistics and a Master of Science in Leadership.”
Mrs Shinya has been deployed as Chief Finance and Corporate Affairs officer.
