Energy Minister, Advocate Fortune Chasi has confirmed that
he has fired the Zesa board.
“I want people who appreciate the urgency of the situation
we are in. I did not see that in them.
“The challenges at Zesa are deep-seated and they need
people who are hands-on, who will not wait for a quarterly meeting or monthly
meeting or things like that. So I will be looking around for men and women of
integrity who have the experience, who are proven, not academic persons.”
Minister Chasi said he would not rush to appoint a new
board, as long as he will get the right people for the task.
“(It will take) as long as it is necessary. We will get the
right people; people who will give the nation and the market the right signals
that we are serious about turning around Zesa. So those are the women and men
that I will be looking for,” he said.
The fired seven-member Zesa board was appointed on March 19.
Former Cottco managing director, Mr Collins Chihuri,was the board chairman. Ms Jacqueline Sande, Trust Chifamba, Mr Hussein Omar, Mrs
Cathrine Befura and Mr Thomas Timire were the other board members.
