As Zimbabwe’s economic landscape evolves, financial security and retirement planning have become more critical than ever.
Sebastian Zuze, a seasoned retirement expert and CEO of Chiedza Retirement Advisory Services, stresses the need for corporate leaders to foster a culture of retirement planning within their organizations. With over nine years in the industry, Zuze emphasizes that business leaders play a crucial role in demystifying retirement and equipping employees with the necessary tools and knowledge to secure their financial futures.
Speaking ahead of the inaugural CEO Africa Roundtable Wealth and Retirement Summit, set for April 2–4 in Nyanga, Zuze highlighted the event as a key platform for empowering individuals and organizations to navigate the complexities of wealth management and retirement readiness.
The summit will bring together thought leaders, financial advisors, policymakers, and industry innovators, offering invaluable insights, tools, and strategies to address pressing challenges and capitalize on emerging opportunities in retirement planning.
CEO Africa Roundtable Chief Executive Kipson Gundani underscored the event’s significance, citing the growing economic pressures on individuals and families.
“The rising cost of living, shifting market dynamics, and increasing life expectancy mean traditional savings approaches are no longer enough. The Wealth and Retirement Summit serves as a beacon of knowledge and collaboration, equipping attendees with the expertise and resources needed to build a sustainable financial roadmap,” Gundani said.
The event will feature expert-led panel discussions on emerging retirement trends such as sustainable investing, pensions, and digital asset integration, along with interactive workshops providing tailored financial strategies. Attendees will also benefit from networking opportunities with industry professionals, fostering connections that could shape the future of wealth management.
Beyond immediate financial security, Zuze stresses that retirement planning is about protecting one’s legacy and ensuring long-term financial stability for future generations.
“This summit brings together the brightest minds in the field to address these concerns and empower attendees to take proactive steps toward their goals,” he said.
