“These appointments will ensure that the energy regulator now operates in line with the dictates of the law. Issues of corporate governance are a serious requirement in the Second Republic and as such it is imperative for institutions like ZERA to demonstrate and walk the talk. These two will contribute towards the achievement of vision 2030 which is before us,” he said.

The board is chaired by Dr David Madzikanda and deputised by Engineer Farai Mavhiya.
