Zimbabwean investment facilitator and journalist Ms Josephine Mahachi has been appointed head of business development at Dangote Industries in Harare, Zimbabwe.
Nigerian billionaire industrialist Mr Aliko Dangote is planning to invest more than US$1 billion in Zimbabwe venturing into cement manufacturing, power generation and infrastructure including an oil pipeline.
“I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Head of Business Development at Dangote Industries in Harare, Zimbabwe,” Ms Mahachi announced in a recent post on her X account.
Ms Mahachi’s announcement of her new post confirms Dangote Industries is opening offices in Harare after Mr Dangote and his team signed an investment agreement last year in November with the Zimbabwean Government following his meeting with President Mnangagwa, Cabinet Ministers and senior Government officials at State House in Harare.
Ms Mahachi facilitated the investment agreement in which Bard Santner Inc. led by banking executive, Mr Senziwani Sikhosana, is the financial adviser.
An award winning journalist, Ms Mahachi has worked for German international broadcaster Deutsche Welle and television network Click Africa, which focussed on African pride and narratives across the continent.
