Young talented television and radio personality Ruvheneko Parirenyatwa has landed a top Zimpapers group position.

In a statement released on Friday, the Zimpapers spokesperson Ms Beatrice Tonhodzayi announced the appointment of Parirenyatwa to the post of Projects Manager for the Radio Broadcasting Division.

The group also put Simon Mapuranga to the post of general manager for Bold Ads.

Under the new portfolio, Ms Ruvheneko will be overseeing projects for the division’s radio stations, namely Star FM and Diamond FM.

Due to the management agreement between Kingston’s Holdings and Zimpapers, which has seen the latter managing Nyaminyami FM in Kariba and Capitalk FM in Harare on behalf of Kingston’s, Parirenyatwa will also be overseeing projects at the two stations.

“We are expecting to see exciting things happening both at the Radio Division and at Bold Ads,” said Ms Tonhodzayi.

“Zimpapers is a business that does not believe in complacency. The company’s leadership is constantly thinking of new ideas and strategies to keep the business relevant and profitable, hence new skills, faces and changes are something that we shall be seeing a lot more as we move on.”

Parirenyatwa daughter to Health and Child Care Minister David Parirenyatwa, studied journalism at the University of Cape Town, South Africa.

She hosts her talk show “Ruvheneko” on Star FM Zimbabwe on Mondays at 7pm, Capitalk 100.4 FM on Wednesdays at 7pm and on her online TV platform every Thursday at 7pm.

A former programming manager of ZiFM Stereo, also worked for the African Leadership Network in Johannesburg and GQ Magazine in Cape Town.
