Andrew Chimphondah is a man with a soft personality; even when he laughs, it is not a cackle. It is the same laugh the Shelter Afrique Managing Director gave when Financial Standard asked about his pursuit of a PhD. Before joining Shelter Afrique, Chimphondah worked with Housing Investment Partners (HiP) in South Africa. Shelter Afrique is owned by 44 African governments, the African Development Bank (Afdb) and the Africa Reinsurance Company. When he took over, Shelter Afrique was struggling, riddled with poor financial performance and integrity issues.
