In August 2013, he played a pivotal role in restoring Telecel Zimbabwe’s license. Two months earlier, the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe did not renew the company’s expired license due to its failure to comply with Zimbabwe’s indigenisation policy, which “requires that all foreign firms in Zimbabwe give up the majority of their ownership to black Zimbabweans”. To help the firm renew its license, Zhuwao stepped in to reach a deal in which Telecel Zimbabwe made plans to comply with the indigenisation policy.
