A 2021 report by the Zimbabwe Independent revealed the top-earning chief executives in the country, offering a snapshot of corporate leadership compensation during a challenging economic period. All figures are reported in U.S. dollars.
| Rank | CEO | Company | Annual Salary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rashid Seedat | Dairibord Zimbabwe | US$500,000 |
| 2 | Ntokozo Ncube | Steward Bank | US$495,000 |
| 3 | Doug Munatsi | Old Mutual Zimbabwe | US$480,000 |
| 4 | George Manyaya | NMB Bank | US$455,000 |
| 5 | James Mushore | Econet Wireless Zimbabwe | US$440,000 |
The financial sector dominates the list, reflecting the critical role of banking and insurance in Zimbabwe's dollarized economy at the time. Dairibord, the lone non-financial entrant, is the country's largest dairy processor.
Important notes: These figures are from 2021 and may have changed significantly due to inflation, currency reforms, and corporate restructuring. The report may not capture all executives, particularly those in privately held firms or multinational subsidiaries that don't disclose local compensation. For current data, consult recent financial statements or regulatory filings.
