Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Government has accepted the resignation of the chairperson of the National Social Security Authority (NSSA), Percy Toriro, who recently offered to step down before the expiry of his term.<\/p>\n

In his acceptance letter, Public Service, Labour, and Social Welfare Minister Paul Mavhima said:<\/p>\n

I write to accept your resignation as NSSA board chair as per your correspondence dated May 8, 2023.<\/p>\n

I want to take this opportunity to thank you heartily for your exceptional service to NSSA and the nation at large.<\/p>\n

Your unwavering commitment to the re-orientation and development of the NSSA board is invaluable, and I am deeply grateful for the time, energy, and expertise you have in the role (as) NSSA board chair.<\/p>\n

While we are saddened about your departure, we understand and respect your decision to pursue other opportunities.<\/p>\n

I, therefore, wish you all the best in your future endeavors and I am confident that you will continue to make Zimbabwe proud in your international engagements.<\/p>\n

Toriro, a renowned urban planning expert, has been out of the country for almost six months, doing urban planning consultancy in West Africa.<\/p>\n

He was appointed to the NSSA board in May 2021 and his first five-year term was due to expire in 2026.<\/p>\n

Toriro becomes the fifth person to leave the NSSA board in seven years, with board chairpersons and general managers hardly lasting more than two years on average.<\/p>\n

A recent Business Weekly report claimed that NSSA was planning to axe Toriro at any time.<\/p>\n
