PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe’s daughter, Bona Chikore-Mugabe, has been appointed a board member of the soon-to-be-established Empower Bank, which will be run by the National Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Board (Nieeb).

Sources said Bona has been appointed to the board of the micro-finance bank, which will be chaired by banker Raymond Njanike. “The board has been set up and Bona Chikore will be a member,” a source revealed.

“The bank will be headed by Wellington Zengeza, who is currently one of the general managers at Nieeb. Although there is no date set yet for the bank to begin operations, it will start operating soon.”

Indigenisation minister Patrick Zhuwao, who is Mugabe’s nephew, confirmed Bona’s appointment.

He said Bona and others have been appointed to the board, not only for their skills, but as part of the ministry’s policy to promote youth.
