Chirume quits SEC

organisation to pursue personal interests.
SEC insiders confirmed yesterday that Mr Churume left the commission at the beginning of this month to pursue his private business interests.
Mr Chirume was at the helm of the commission since July 2009.
Repeated efforts to get a comment from Mr Chirume were unsuccessful yesterday.
SEC regulates the capital markets through the Securities Act (Chapter 24:25), which repealed the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange Act (Chapter 24:18).
Mr Chirume began his career as a telecommunication engineer and later moved to the financial services sector where he held several senior executive posts in corporate finance, project finance, investment management and treasury.
He later established his own business in the capital markets, trading in quoted shares and bonds.
