FIRST Capital Bank chief executive officer Tapera Mushoriwa has been re-elected as chairman of the Institute of Bankers of Zimbabwe (IOBZ), while CBZ Bank managing director Valeta Mthimkhulu has been elected vice chairperson.
The appointments were made at the institute’s 44th annual general meeting last month, as the organisation continues to strengthen professional standards and capacity development within Zimbabwe’s banking sector.
The IOBZ is mandated to promote professionalism, ethical conduct and continuous learning among banking practitioners, helping to enhance skills and support best practices across the financial services industry.
“The Institute congratulates Mushoriwa on his re-election and Mthimkhulu on her election, expressing confidence in their vision and leadership to spearhead the development and growth of the institute,” it said.
The banking sector continues to operate in a rapidly changing environment characterised by technological advancements, evolving customer expectations, regulatory developments and the need for stronger risk management frameworks.
Through professional training, certification and industry engagement, the IOBZ seeks to equip banking professionals with the skills needed to navigate these changes and contribute to the stability and growth of the financial sector.
