BINDURA Nickel Corporation (BNC) managing director Batirai Manhando will leave the resources firm at the end of this month, seven years into the role that saw him manage shareholder wrangles and oversee a complex care and maintenance operation. BY SHAME MAKOSHORI The former Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe (CoMZ) president was replaced by mining engineer Thomas Lusiyano yesterday. However, a statement from BNC said he would stay on for a three-week transitional phase until November 30. “Mr Batirai Manhando steps down as managing director to pursue personal interests,” said BNC chairperson Muchadeyi Masunda. “Mr Manhando has been with the company in various capacities for close to 30 years, the last seven of which he served as the managing director. During his stint, he actively participated in overseeing the recovery and growth of the company and played a pivotal leadership role through various transitions, including care and maintenance (2008 to 2012) as well as the rights offer and private placement process which was concluded in September 2012.” Masunda said Manhando would be leaving behind a stable and profitable operation. “The company has been stable and profitable since then. Mr Thomas Lusiyano takes over as managing director with effect from November 9, 2020. Mr Lusiyano is a qualified mining engineer who has vast experience at senior level in different private and public sector companies where he saved as mine manager, general manager, managing director and chief executive,” he said. Manhando’s impressive record at BNC came under the spotlight when shareholder wrangles intensified during his tenure, triggering a 2016 forensic audit that exposed irregularities linked to Chinese executives at Freda Rebecca Gold Mine and BNC. The audit exposed shocking evidence of asset stripping and possible looting of millions of dollars, but left Manhando untainted. Reports at the time said the mining executive also survived a boardroom coup. Soon after calming down tempers at BNC, Manhando was elected president of the CoMZ in 2017, deputised by current president Elizabeth Nerwande-Chibanda as the first vice-president. At CoMZ, his biggest challenge was to cool off the turbulences after the US$2 billion industry haemorrhaged under serious power shortages. He worked round the clock to convince government to prioritise the mining industry in the provision of power, while also keeping authorities under close watch at the tail end of an asset expropriation programme under the late former President Robert Mugabe. During the year ended March 30, 2020, BNC’s turnover declined to US$52,4 million, 1% lower than a US$54 million turnover during the same period last year. “This was in sync with the decrease in sales tonnage referred to above. Cost of sales decreased from US$40,3 million last year to US$37,7 million in the year under review, mainly due to lower production,” the firm said. “However, operating profit decreased by 86% to US$2,8 million, compared to the prior year’s achievement of US$20,2 million. “This profit erosion was mainly

“I HAVE long given up on active politics,” Gertrude Sidambe, a 36-year-old member of one of Zimbabwe’s opposition parties, tells IPS. When female members of the ruling Zanu PF party complained last month about political violence as male members chose brawn over brains to solicit for positions, the party’s national secretary for women’s affairs Mabel Chinomona advised that they enter the punch-and-insult battlefield and “fight” like everyone else. The violence has pushed women further away from the bruising contests. Yet it has become another reminder of the country’s commitments — or lack thereof — toward gender inclusivity and parity and the conditions women face in their aspirations for political office. “At one time I was confident my many years in the forefront would culminate in running for public office but that never happened, and that’s not because I did not try. Everyone appeared to think men could do a better job,” Sidambe says. She made the comments at a time when Zimbabwe’s political parties are engaged choosing representatives for positions that range from district coordinating committees to local councils and by-elections for vacant legislative seats. Sidambe’s disillusion with party politics is not unusual or isolated. The main opposition MDC Alliance (MDC-A) has also not been spared. The party has put in motion internal processes to elect representatives who will contest for vacant parliamentary and local council positions once the government lifts the moratorium on by-elections because of coronavirus fears. Last month, government was taken to court by female aspiring candidates challenging the indefinite suspension of the by-elections. The court action is being supported by the Women’s Academy for Leadership and Political Excellence (WALPE), a local NGO lobbying for the equal representation of women in public leadership positions. According to WALPE, there are 35 vacant parliamentary seats, while 55 local council wards are yet to be filled and the suspension of the by-elections “violates people’s rights to be represented whoever they want”. Meanwhile, MDC-A prospective female candidates have complained of being sidelined, amid developments that male candidates were running in positions that had previously been agreed to be reserved for a female candidate. “It has been normalised that women are mobilisers for male candidates, but there comes a time when you become tired and just quit after you ask yourself ‘what’s in it for me?’” Sidambe says, highlighting a recurring motif each time the Zimbabwe’s political parties prepare for elections. Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga, an opposition legislator in Zimbabwe, says there are no binding codes of conduct within political parties regarding gender parity and this has allowed the pushing of women to the periphery of political participation. “There are simply no internal party rules that ensure political parties live up to their proclamations for women to be part of leadership,” Misihairabwi-Mushonga tells IPS. “Political parties are operating without rules.
