PPC ZIMBABWE has made a historical achievement by appointing a National University of Science and Technology (Nust) graduate as its first female production manager at its Bulawayo factory.
In a Press statement, PPC announced the appointment of Kudzanayi Nyagwaya as the new production manager.
“Nyagwaya graduated from Nust with a degree in Chemical Engineering and started her career at PPC in 2014 as a graduate learner,” the statement said.
“She is the first woman to hold such a position at PPC and Nyagwaya started as a process engineer and later became a production superintendent.”
PPC said it valued diversity, inclusivity and equal opportunity for all its team members, while recognising the challenges of gender imbalance in engineering where women are often under-represented.
“This is why PPC is supporting the professional development of female engineers and creating equal opportunities for all genders,” the company said.
