Zimbabwean businessman Mutumwa Mawere, 66, died in South Africa on Jan. 15, 2026, after a stroke left him incapacitated since 2024.
Mutumwa Mawere, a Zimbabwean businessman and founder of SMM Holdings, died at 66 in a South African hospital on January 15, 2026, following a stroke in 2024 that left him unable to speak and severely weakened.
He had lived in exile in South Africa for nearly two decades after the Zimbabwean government seized his mining and industrial empire in 2004 under a controversial law he challenged in multiple courts.
A former World Bank economist, Mawere was a leading advocate for black economic empowerment and private-sector growth in Africa, leaving a legacy shaped by both industrial achievement and protracted legal battles.
