DSK Holdings managing director Mr Worthwhile Mugabe reaffirmed his status as one of the leading businesspersons in the country when he scooped the Southern Region Industrialist of the year award at the 2019 Megafest Business Awards held recently.
Mr Mugabe emerged one of the top winners at a glittering ceremony held at a Bulawayo hotel, and maintained his status as one of the businesspeople who have kept the fire burning in Bulawayo. He has also won numerous awards in the past.
Mr Mugabe, through his company DSK Holdings, which incorporates six subsidiary companies namely DSK Electricals, Girjac Services, High Peak Cables and Hardware, Power Control Systems, Kayzed Sales and another portfolio offering accommodation in Dalesford, Gweru’s leafy suburb also has his footprints outside the country.
Being a well-seasoned and experienced industrialist, Mr Mugabe has on countless times been awarded various private sector leadership accolades from reputable organisations such as Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC), MEGAFEST and Zimbabwe Institute of Management, to mention but a few.
He said the business awards encouraged him and his team to work hard.
“The award is not for me alone. It is also an award for all the team members at DSK Holdings. The environment is not easy but we have managed to work hard all the time and we are also grateful to the support we have received from our clients in all corners of the country,” he said.
Through innovation, the holding company has managed to remain afloat despite the economic crunch experienced across the country. Mr Mugabe said his primary duty was to constantly map out the strategic trajectory for the group of companies in pursuit of their respective visions.
Through his visions, Mr Mugabe has managed to create strategic alliances with internationally recognised manufactures of electrical components and other associated products.
Mr Mugabe retains a proven record in sales and marketing of distribution construction materials and components, financing of construction projects, work procurement, as well as establishing new business ventures.
Through the leadership of the managing director the organisation has become the leading sole supplier of goods and services for large corporate organisations in Zimbabwe. This was achieved through the company’s strategic alliances with internally recognised suppliers of high quality products.
Mr Mugabe some years back acquired spacious premises in Belmont Industrial area in Bulawayo. He renovated the premises to meet world-class standards.
The organisation has designed a state-of- the-art executive training boardroom, where internationally certified engineers throughout the world come at agreed intervals to train and equip locals with international business best practices. This in a way enhances the locals to become more competent in their areas of expertise.
