Makamba is an entrepreneur, politician and former
commercial broadcaster. He has interests in the retail, telecommunications,
mining, agricultural, property and professional consultancy sectors, digital
publishing and philanthropy.
In 1997, one of his companies leased Zimbabwe Broadcasting
Corporation’s second colour television channel, turning it into the country’s
first independent television station, known as Joy TV.
The station’s licence was revoked in 2002 due to licensing
complications.
Makamba, a former Zanu PF central committee member, fled
the country in 2005 for an unknown destination with speculation that he had
landed in the United Kingdom. Makamba was then allegedly facing charges of
illegally dealing in foreign currency.
