A South African power company has given former Kenya Airways chief executive Mbuvi Ngunze a plum board position.

Mr Ngunze will chair Mettle Solar Investments, which provides energy solutions to its pool of clients across Africa, and will see him steer the firm’s continental growth ambitions.

He left Kenya Airways in 2017 after backlash from labour unions for the poor performance of the airline, which had sunk into heavy losses, largely seen as an impact of poor decisions by previous management.

He has since been appointed as a senior adviser with Catalyst Principal Partners.

In a statement last week, Gridworks, the firm which appointed Ngunze to the board after making an investment in Mettle, said the company plans to grow its presence in Africa where it has projects in just a handful of countries.


Btw Interim CEO to be announced in a few.

Allan Kilavuka, CEO Jambojet: We are not always right but we strive to do the right thing
By Soko Directory Team / June 3, 2019 | 10:21 am

Mr. Allan Kilavuka, an Accountant as well as a Psychologist by profession has been at the helm of Jambojet for just six months but has a great vision for the airline.

Before joining Jambojet, he worked with General Electric for 14 years.

“Before that, I was a practicing accountant at Deloitte. I was in Deloitte for 10 years,” he says.

In your opinion, what is the biggest threat to the aviation industry?

“The biggest threat to the aviation industry is the aviation industry.

The industry is very highly regulated, though for good reasons.

But sometimes that gets into our way of being innovative.

We are not given a lot of freedom to think outside our confines.”

Parting shot?

“As Jambojet, we are proud that being the pioneers of the low-cost airline, we have had to transport more than 3,000,000 people, with 30 percent of our travelers being first-time travelers which means that we have made it possible for people who never dreamt of flying to fly.

The new products that we are trying to conceive, we believe, will change the industry even more.

We want to be a global leader.

(He reaches out for an award).

This is an award we got this year. We got this from Bombardier. This is the most reliable airline in the Q 400 series.

Mikosz knew the reason why he decided to bolt out. The interim CEO have no concrete aviation background at all. He has just been appointed to hold brief for the masters.

The best bet could have been the Suspended CFO, the other guy who initially acted as CFO but went back to Cargo or any other strong Manager within KQ with enough understanding of how this business operates.

Allan Kilavuka is just like Ngunze when he was appointed in 2011. I am very sure he will be confirmed as the substantive CEO. The masters does not care whether the Company reports a profit or not but only ensures the loans are serviced/their supplies are paid for.

Ummh I repeat... Opening NYC was the dumbest idea... That route is bleeding the company dry.... Achana na hii PR kelele mingi ati breakeven it's bad bad... They should hv consolidated existing routes... CT and Joburg should hv more frequencies... Shorter flying time the tickets are nicely priced and demand is huge.... Qatar is making inroads on major african routes... Saw the other day they started Gaborone... KQ will die a slow painful death...I think it's Obiero I was telling almost every week I attend a party for someone exiting... One week on a Friday there were 6 different parties.. Attrition is real... In a few years time I doubt it will be in existence... Well unless govt expedites the takeover....
