- Q17067372 abstract "Dr. James Makamba is a Zimbabwean pioneer and innovator in many African markets. In 1980, he was one of the first Africans to become a member of the Million Dollar Round Table, placing one million US dollars’ worth of insurance and investment business in a record period of eight months. Also in the early 1980s, he brought to Africa the Soft 'n' Free range of cosmetics designed in America especially for black people. As a consultant to Lonhro plc in the 1980s, he represented Boeing during its expansion phase into sub-Saharan Africa, bringing jet air travel to many countries on the continent. In 1997, when television broadcasting in sub-Saharan Africa was government controlled, he launched an independent station, Joy TV, in Zimbabwe. In 1998, he expanded African entrepreneurship when he affiliated his own consortium, the Empowerment Corporation, with Telecel International, the continent’s first ever cellular operator – and won Zimbabwe’s third independent cellular operator license. He broke new ground with the Empowerment Corporation, spreading the wealth generation potential of the burgeoning cellular industry to the common man through the shareholdings in the consortium of miner’s unions, indigenous women business groupings, and war veterans groupings.His business career also includes consulting across multiple portfolios for Lonhro (now Lonhro plc), a London-based company whose diverse interests in Africa are focused on enabling development on the continent.Makamba currently has interests in the retail, telecommunications, mining, agricultural, and professional consultancy sectors. He sits on the boards of Ibbamo Foundation, the Bongi Ngema Zuma foundation, JHL Investments, Thurlow & Company, the Kestrel Corporation (Pty) Ltd, African Business Connect, and Makamba & Associates and sat on the boards of Telecel Zimbabwe and Anglo African Minerals.Father of four, a high school education provided by Catholic Jesuits, and a reputation as an individualist, James Makamba was a Zanu-PF political activist during the white-dominated regime of Ian Smith in what was then British colony of Southern Rhodesia and, after independence in 1980, spent two decades in elected office, serving on, among others, the national government’s central committee, the public accounts committee, and the national fund raising committeeIn 2005, the Zimbabwean government declared Makamba a specified person, following three court cases in which he was accused and found not guilty of externalising funds.
