The board is chaired by Dave Popatlal who is deputised by Dr George Manyaya. Some of the members of the board are Rumbidzai Dihwa, Dr Joseph Mabvure, Rumbidzai Dihwa and Sinikiwe Gwatidzo. Pindula News presents ACZ statement on the appointment of Tawanda Gusha.<\/p>\n<p>The Board of Directors of the Airports Company of Zimbabwe (Private) Limited (\u201cACZ\u201d) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Tawanda Gusha as the inaugural CEO effective 1 July 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Tawanda brings to the ACZ over 21 years of experience in the aviation sector having worked in different capacities in the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (\u201cCAAZ\u201d) which include Air Traffic Controller, Duty manager.
