By Alois Vinga AGRO-INDUSTRIAL group, CFI Holdings Limited remains under the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange trading ban but is optimistic that authorities will grant permission allowing the group’s shares to resume trading. ZSE suspended the company’s shares in 2018 after failure to comply with listing requirements. According to the listing rules, a company is obligated to ensure that 30 % of each class of equity shares is held by the public unless the listing committee agrees otherwise. In 2017, CFI was immersed in a bitter fight between major shareholders Stalap Investments and Messina Investments and as a result failed to appoint key management officers as required under the listing rules at the material time.
