The Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) will convene a high-level Reserved Sectors Breakfast Meeting on 11 February 2026, bringing together key stakeholders to discuss critical policy developments affecting Zimbabwe’s business environment.

The event will be held at the Hyatt Regency Harare from 7:30 AM to 10:30 AM, providing a focused platform for meaningful engagement between policymakers, industry leaders, and development stakeholders.

A Timely and Strategic Conversation

The meeting comes at an important time for Zimbabwe’s economy, as businesses seek clarity on evolving regulatory frameworks and their implications for investment and operations. Central to the discussions will be Statutory Instrument 125 of 2025, a key policy instrument that has drawn significant attention across multiple sectors.

Participants can expect a thorough unpacking of the statutory instrument, including its intent, scope, and practical impact. Beyond legal interpretation, the forum will also explore implementation modalities, giving businesses insight into how policy will translate into practice.

By fostering direct dialogue between regulators and the private sector, the breakfast meeting aims to bridge the gap between policy formulation and on-the-ground realities.

Influential Voices at the Table

The programme features a distinguished lineup of speakers representing government, policy, and business leadership:

• Nqobizitha M. Ndlovu, Minister of Industry and Commerce

• Mavis Sibanda, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Women Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises

• Arikana Chihombori-Quao, President of ADDI

• Lovemore Madhuku, Legal and Policy Expert

• Oswell Binha, Chairman and CEO of Africa Round Table

• Farai Mutambanengwe, CEO of the Small and Medium Enterprises Association of Zimbabwe

Together, these speakers bring a balance of policy authority, legal expertise, and private sector perspective, ensuring a well-rounded and practical discussion.
