NetOne dismisses claims senior executives ‘on the run’

In a statement, the company said its board and management wished to “advise the Public and our Key Stakeholders to disregard the alleged claims that two NetOne senior executives are ‘on the run’ namely, the Chief Technical Officer, Mr Christopher Muchechemera, and the Chief Financial Officer, Mrs Nyasha Nyambuya.” “These reports are inaccurate as they are inconsistent with the bona fide and highly reputable standing of these two senior executives at NetOne,” the statement said. “Both Mr Muchechemera and Mrs Nyambuya have been in the office and are executing their duties.” NetOne also urged journalists to verify information through official channels. “Meanwhile, the media is encouraged to use formal channels for verification of issues associated with NetOne and its officials,” the statement said.

This comes at a time when the operator has been increasing its public engagement activities. In recent weeks, NetOne has held media and stakeholder engagements in Harare and Bulawayo, where executives outlined the company’s strategy on digital transformation, innovation and collaboration in the telecommunications sector. The company has positioned these engagements as part of a broader effort to strengthen transparency and stakeholder relations as it expands services and rolls out new digital initiatives.
