Another government guy is jumping ship for the corporate world. Richard Mahomva, who was the International Communications Services director, is taking a new gig. He will be the head of public relations at NetOne, a state-owned mobile operator. The permanent secretary, Nick Mangwana, confirmed the move.
Mahomva is considered a public intellectual. His stated interests are political theory, public policy, and governance. He also likes literature and art. His background is in a government communications role.
It will be interesting to see how his skills translate. He is moving from a policy-focused government job to a corporate PR position at a telecom. His experience in the ministry will probably help, but it is still a shift. The role starts at the beginning of 2026.
