New managing director of PPC Zimbabwe appointed

PPC has appointed Kelibone Masiyane as managing director of PPC Zimbabwe.

Following the recent re-deployment of former managing director of PPC Zimbabwe Njombo Lekula as the managing director of PPC's international operations, the country's executive team has been further strengthened through a number of new appointments.

"Kelibone's promotion will see him assume overall responsibility for PPC Zimbabwe's business, with his key focus our Harare factory," notes Lekula. "His extensive operational experience in the business is sure to stand him in good stead in his new role, and we are confident that his leadership will see the company work to implement its strategy effectively against the back of PPC's new group vision."

Lekula added that the complementary promotions of Iain Sheasby and Karen Mhazo to the roles of Commercial Director and General Manager of Finance respectively, and that of current Group Human Resources Manager designate Trust Mabaya in March have further strengthened the country's executive and management teams. "They are also a clear indication of the Group's succession planning strategy in action-and our ability to develop and groom internal members of PPC Zimbabwe's family to assume vital leadership roles."
