Masvingo is gearing up for an inspiring and impactful gathering as the “Brunch and Business: Connecting Opportunities” event takes place on February 7th, 2025, at the Urban Lifestyle Conference Centre. This prestigious event will bring together some of Zimbabwe’s most accomplished business leaders, policymakers, and innovators for a day of transformative conversations and networking opportunities.
Headlining the event is Dr. Divine Simbi-Ndhlukula, a name synonymous with excellence in business and agriculture, who has solidified her legacy as one of Zimbabwe’s most prominent figures on the global stage. As the Founder and Managing Director of SECURICO and Zvikomborero Farms, Dr. Divine has not only revolutionized Zimbabwe’s security industry but has also made significant strides in agriculture, becoming a beacon of hope and empowerment for many.
From humble beginnings, she built SECURICO at her kitchen table with just three employees. Today, it stands as one of Zimbabwe’s largest security firms, employing over 4,200 people and setting international standards through ISO certification. In the agricultural sector, her contributions continue to reshape the landscape, reinforcing her status as a visionary leader in both fields.
Dr. Divine’s achievements have earned her widespread recognition and respect. She was named Forbes Africa Businesswoman of the Year (2019), received the EY World Entrepreneur Award Southern Africa (2014), and was recognized among the UNCTAD/Empretec Top Ten Global Women in Business. Her influence extends far beyond Zimbabwe, with her induction into the JA International Global Business Hall of Fame (2021) and numerous other accolades, including the African Leadership Legend Award (2021) and the Commendation Hero Medal for her contributions to Zimbabwe’s economy.
The event will also celebrate a significant milestone for Masvingo Province: the appointment of Commissioner Stern Kondongwe as Commissioner of the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services (ZPCS). This momentous occasion will be graced by Dr. Moses Chihobvu, the Commissioner General of ZPCS, who will serve as the guest of honor. Hon. Ezra Chadzamira, Masvingo’s Resident Minister, will also attend, underscoring the event’s importance to the province.
Adding to the distinguished lineup of speakers is Mr. Sifiso Mahlangu, Managing Director of NBS Bank, who will share his expertise on banking and investment, highlighting strategies for fostering sustainable economic growth.
This gathering comes at a pivotal time for Masvingo, as the government has recently approved the Tugwi-Mukosi Master Plan. This ambitious development blueprint is set to unlock vast opportunities in agriculture, tourism, and renewable energy, making Masvingo a hub for investment and growth.
The Brunch and Business event promises to be more than just a networking platform; it is a celebration of Masvingo’s brightest minds and boldest ambitions. With Dr. Divine Simbi-Ndhlukula setting the tone for empowerment and excellence, attendees can expect to be inspired by her story and her commitment to driving transformation on both a local and global scale.
