Nyagura more than 18 years' experience in the technology industry which he gained in Zimbabwe and in the USA. He was previously the Head of Business for iWayAfrica and Acting Regional Manager for Africa Online.

Dandemutande also revealed that current Chief Financial Officer Never Ncube, will remain in his position, while Douglas Chitongo, who was previously Senior Technical Manager at iWayAfrica Zimbabwe, takes over as Head of Technical Services from one of the founding members of Dandemutande, Colin Franco who has retired after 17 years.
