Zhanda, a prominent figure and owner of a significant stake in Masimba Holdings, has witnessed a substantial increase in his fortune, largely attributed to the impressive growth in the market value of his stake.
According to data tracked by Billionaires.Africa, Paddy Zhanda’s stake in Masimba Holdings, which he holds through his investment vehicle Amalgamated Ventures Limited, has increased by more than US$50 million since the start of this year.

Since the start of this year, the group’s share price has experienced a staggering surge of 1 038.64%, skyrocketing from US$0.248 on 1 January to US2.828 on 17 July.
As a result of the price surge, Zhanda’s stake in Masimba Holdings has soared by US$50.33 million since the beginning of the year, climbing from US$4.84 million on 1 January to US$55.18 million.
This significant increase has solidified Zhanda’s position as Zimbabwe’s latest multimillionaire businessman and reaffirms his position as one of the wealthiest investors on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange.
