Tshuma also thanked the Editor of The Chronicle, Mduduzi Mathuthu and Marks Shayamano, the company’s General Manager, for mentoring him into becoming a resourceful manager.
“My heartfelt thanks to my editor and general manager. They give me advice on a daily basis when we discuss strategies on increasing our sales and distribution. I value their input and I urge them to continue supporting me,” said Tshuma.
The overall winner in the category was Edgars Stores while the second runner up award went to Tilus Supermarket.
