He is also a holder of a full Chartered Institute of Management Accountants qualification. Kamungeremu will be sworn in at the ZNCC congress running from June 29 to July 1.
“I will preach unity of purpose throughout the country so that we speak with one voice. Our immediate task is to engage policymakers and build trust either way. There have been accusations from both ends and we need to make sure we find each other and work together with them as we have always done,” Kamungeremu said.
“The vision is already set: To be an upbeat business membership organisation that lobbies and drives the growth of the Zimbabwean economy. I want to see ZNCC driving the growth of the Zimbabwean economy and every business coming on board. There must harmony with our policymakers where we are consulted on key policy developments and then we also help in their implementation to ensure buy-in and success. I also want to see all business member organisations working together in advancing national interests and rise above parochial sectoral interests,” he added.
