Former TelOne managing director, Dr. Chipo Mutasa has been appointed as the new Chairperson of the beleaguered Air Zimbabwe with immediate effect.
Her appointment was announced by Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development, Felix Mhona Monday.
She replaces Dr. Silvanos Gwarinda who was appointed substantive chair on August 1, last year.
“…the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Dr. E.D. Mnangagwa has approved the appointment of Dr. Chipo Mtasa as the Chairperson of the Air Zimbabwe (Pvt) Ltd Board, in terms of Section 11 (9) of the Public Entities Corporate Governance Act [Chapter 10:31] and Article 69 of the Air Zimbabwe Articles of Incorporation. Her appointment is with immediate effect, from 6 February 2023,” he said in a statement.
Mhona said, Dr. Mtasa will be deputised by Mr. Edmund Murambiwa Makona, who is an aviation expert with over 20 years of experience in the industry.
Dr. Mtasa left TelOne in December last year after meticulously serving her two five-year terms in accordance with the Public Entities Corporate Governance Act (Chapter 10:31).
The parastatal lauded her achievements, which saw the entity being “strategically positioned as a formidable brand, running sustainable business operations, well set for the future”.
She was appointed managing director of the state-owned telecoms business in 2013. Nhau/Indaba
