Mr Michael Mundashi is a lawyer by profession having graduated from the University of Zambia with a Bachelor of Laws degree in 1984.

Ms Mukutu is an Associate Member of the Zambia Institute of Chartered Accountants and a Fellow of the UK's Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.

I look forward to working with Michael over the period ahead."

"In addition, I'm delighted to announce the appointment of Faith as the Company's new CFO and member of the Board. As the former Finance Director of three LuSE listed companies and with significant experience in the food and Beverage sector, she will be a highly valuable asset to the team."
