Mpofu appoints substantive Air Zimbabwe board
Published: 24 July 2014
The Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development Obert Mpofu has appointed a substantive board for Air Zimbabwe.

The eight member board is chaired by Abdulman Harid who is a former Commissioner of Taxes and the first black Comptroller and Auditor-General of Zimbabwe.

The other board members are Gift Noko, Rudo Faranisi, Luckson Muzondo, Patience Zenda, Edwin Zvandasara, Austin Simbai Mpinyuri, and Dr Tadiwanashe Mukudzeyi Mangwengwende.

A number of the board members have survived from the interim board that was appointed in February this year.

Speaking during the appointment, Minister Mpofu tasked the new board with turning around the fortunes of the national airliner.

"Now that you are the substantive board your priority is on the following matters: Crafting and implementing a turnaround strategy for Air Zimbabwe including aircraft leasing/procurement, human resources issues and debt management; expansion of both domestic and regional routes and increasing frequencies on the most profitable route," said the minister.

He also urged the board to instill a high standard of corporate governance and to ensure viability of the airline.
