Mukuru chief executive Doug Tate-Knight said although he never managed to unlock his cricket schools, his children show lots of promise and looks up to the Chevrons.
“We are not only announcing a partnership, but also celebrating a common goal. Our mission as a leading financial services provider has been to empower not only customers, but our communities which we are proudly a part of,” Tate-Knight said.
“Through this partnership, Mukuru is investing in, not just the Chevrons, but also in Zimbabwe’s future — supporting the growth of cricket at every level, from grassroots to the international stage.”
