Farai Mabeza, Senior Staff Writer 
GWERU businessman and property developer, Tinashe Manzungu (TM), was earlier this month re-elected as the president of the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC). Manzungu spoke to The Financial Gazette’s Staff Writer, Farai Mabeza (FM). He highlighted that the business chamber had made huge strides preparing its members for the recently launched African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Below are excerpts from the extensive interview:
FM: Congratulations on your re-election. What are your reflections on your previous term and what are the issues that you would like to push for on behalf of business in your new term? Is the chamber able to deliver on its mandate in the current environment?
TM: My first term came at a time when economies came to a standstill due to Covid-19 vagaries. However, in the midst of the pandemonium we have shown resilience to swim against the tide. The term has not been easy for any business leader. Going forward I have learnt that the world has since transitioned from a “global village” to a “global household” and hence strategic positioning and collaborations are key success factors in this new normal.
