Chileshe Kapwepwe Lands IMF Job
The International Monetary Fund has appointed Former Ministry of Finance Deputy Minister Chileshe Mpundu Kapwepwe as Alternate Executive Director for its Africa Group One Constituency.
Speaking upon receiving the news from the IMF, Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda immediately welcomed the appointment and described Ms. Kapwepwe as eminently qualified and experienced to diligently and effectively advance the interests of the IMF – Africa Group 1 Constituency.
Mr. Chikwanda described Ms. Kapwepwe as, a humble professional who is profoundly schooled and through whom management talent among women in Zambia will be viewed positively by the International Community.
He adds that the ascension of Ms. Kapwepwe to the high position, at the same time that another Zambian in the name of Dr Denny Kalyalya is serving on the Executive Board of the World Bank, gives him pride and confidence that African interests will firmly be articulated by Zambian Nationals serving on the Boards of the Bretton Woods Institutions.
Ms. Kapwepwe’s appointment follows a selection process that was conducted during the IMF Annual Meetings held in Tokyo, Japan, in October 2012.
A few weeks ago, Dr. Denny Kalyalya, another Zambian, was appointed as Executive Director of the World Bank Africa Group I Constituency.
Mr Chikwanda has wished Ms. Kapwepwe success as she takes on the challenging and important assignment at the IMF %u2013 Africa Group One Constituency.
A Chartered Accountant by Profession, Ms Kapwepwe is a Fellow of the Association of Chartered and Certified Accountants ACCA (United Kingdom), a Fellow of the Zambia Institute of Chartered Accountants (ZICA) and also holds a Master%u2019s Degree in Business Administration from the University of Bath (United Kingdom).
She has over 20 years management experience in both the private and public sectors serving in the aviation and motor industries, and also has vast experience in international trade and quality assurance matters.
Ms. Kapwepwe served as Deputy Minister of Finance and National Planning, from 2008 to 2011.
Earlier, she served as the Chief Executive Officer of the National Airports Corporation Limited for seven years from 2001 to 2007.
Between 1993 and 2000, she was the Contract Manager for SGS %u2013 Societe General de Surveillance, a Swiss Multinational, overseeing operations in International Trade and Quality Assurance in Zambia.

Am just wondering if she was Hichileshe Hakapwepwe and this appointment came about, our friends frm the south wil be talking about how intelligent Tongas are. Others are not. With prof oli sasa, dr mvunga, prof luo, prof kashoki, so many high scorers frm different tribes do we ever hear them bragging how intelligent they are? But our friends usually take the time. Its a deep rooted complex.

Twapapata this is a moment of pride for all Zambians, that we too can contribute positively at international level. Lets not reduce this to tribal bickering it’s so tired and sickening

@Sunta Sunkuku, There you go lad flying adverts for tribal criticism on this platform again. Just think to yourself and please do not think aloud as no one is interested in buying your corrupt and inept mind. Zambians are simply congratulating Kapwepwe and not this nuisance you are bringing forth. I hope you burry your thoughts…If you will, say i will. Aso right

There are massive chances that any individual from any mono or dual tribe can be intelligent and those that are not can improve. The same applies to wisdom and foolish, fame, wealth etc. Tribe is some thing we have found our selves in and we have no choice about that. I am finding this very sensitive issue of tribal talk.
