ZIMBABWE’s fast rising mobile network, NetOne has commended Mutapa Investment Fund’s exemplary leadership for aggressively turning around the country’s fortunes through wealth creation.
The MIF is a sovereign wealth fund, established to manage strategic state-owned assets and ensure long-term economic stability.
Originally founded in 2014 as the Sovereign Wealth Fund of Zimbabwe, it was renamed and operationalized in September 2023 to centralize government shareholdings across various sectors.
Speaking to delegates at the MIF Public Lecture Friday, NetOne CEO, Raphael Mushanawani said the leadership style under demonstration was exemplary.
“The just ended public lecture was key in strengthening accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership within Zimbabwe’s economic institutions. The inaugural lecture had clarified key issues. The forum highlighted principles such as accountability, excellence, commitment, integrity, and sustainability as pillars for building a prosperous and secure Zimbabwe,” he said.
The results oriented leader who is widely credited for transforming NetOne into an aggressive brand since his ascendancy underscored that the lecture has re-emphasised the tenets of national wealth creation, preservation, and investment, which are central to Zimbabwe’s long-term economic transformation.
“The investment culture being promoted aligns with the Government’s “Zimbabwe is Open for Business” policy introduced in 2017.The MIF continues to drive the vision of positioning Zimbabwe as an attractive destination for foreign direct investment,” Mushanawani added.
