NetOne terminates Mushanawani’s contract, ending turbulent five-year tenure

NetOne terminated CEO Mushanawani's contract following a board resolution, weeks after he was placed on leave. NewsDay reported chief technical officer Chris Muchechemera was appointed acting CEO. The move ends a turbulent five-year tenure marked by operational challenges and alleged governance issues. The friction: the termination reflects ongoing instability in Zimbabwe's state-owned telecom sector, with political interference often cited. The core vulnerability: NetOne's leadership vacuum could hinder its competitiveness against private rivals, potentially affecting service quality for millions of subscribers and the company's market share.
