CEC Unclaimed Dividend - Winnie Mbewe

Staying connected to your investments can help ensure you receive dividends you are entitled to. Ms. Winnie Mbewe, a Copperbelt Energy Corporation Plc investor, shares how reconnecting with her investment through Corpserve Zambia helped her recover outstanding dividends. During an interview with Mr. Mwelwa Chibesakunda, Ms. Mbewe shared her personal investment journey, explaining that she first acquired 3,000 CEC shares after being introduced to shareholding while working at the Zambia Centre for Accountancy Studies. She recalls receiving her first dividend and being impressed by the returns from her investment. However, after a period without receiving dividends, Ms. Mbewe did not immediately follow up. Years later, she was contacted by Corpserve, the CEC share transfer agents, which informed her that they had been looking for her and that some money belonging to her as a shareholder was available for collection. After verifying her details and completing the required documentation, she received her outstanding funds the following week. The payment came at an important time for Ms. Mbewe, allowing her to contribute towards her daughter’s MBA fees without having to borrow money. She says the experience reinforced the importance of staying engaged with one’s investments, keeping contact details updated, and maintaining communication with the relevant transfer secretary. Ms. Mbewe encourages fellow shareholders who may have outstanding dividends to contact Corpserve and establish whether they have unclaimed funds. Her experience highlights the importance of actively managing investments and ensuring that shareholders receive the benefits due to them. #CECAddingValue #UnclaimedDividends
