Zim Now Writer

Khayah Cement Limited has appointed Tendai Kapumha and Sabinah Chitehwe as non-executive directors of the company as it rebuilds the board following the resignation of some members of the board of directors in December 2022.

In a cautionary notice, Khayah Cement said the appointment is with effect from March 1.

“A seasoned executive, Kapumha is the current CEO of the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe.

“He is a former MD for BMA Fasteners and General Beltings and was once a board member for the National Oil Infrastructure Company of Zimbabwe. He is a non-executive director at ZB Building Society where he chairs the loans review committee.

“A chartered accountant, Chitehwe is the MD of Crest Chemicals. She has served on boards such as NMBZ Holdings Limited and NMB Bank, among others,” reads the statement.

The appointments come after resignations of Shepherd Shonhiwa from the Nomination and Renumeration Committee as well as the Safety, Health and Environmental and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee and Gloria Zvaravanhu from the board of Directors as Chairperson of the Audit Committee in December.

In December, Fossils Mines acquired a controlling stake in Lafarge Cement Zimbabwe after buying a 76.45% shareholding held by Associated International Cement Limited.

Lafarge Cement Zimbabwe subsequently changed the company’s name to Khayah Cement.
