Henrietta Rushwaya

Henrietta Rushwaya is the current serving President of the Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF). She assumed office in June 2021 after being resoundingly endorsed by all Provinces in an election she ran unopposed. A miner in her own right, Henrietta Rushwaya is one of the only five female Presidents to run the mining industry world over. Her election into office has seen exponential women participation in the Zimbabwe mining sector leading to the momentous rise of “women can do it” sentiment in the Zimbabwe mining industry. The rise of Rushwaya at ZMF has seen the ASM sector accounting for the largest chunk of the country’s gold deliveries to Fidelity Printers and Refineries after overtaking their counterparts in the primary production sector which is dominated by Conglomerates.
