Kudakwashe Regimond Tagwirei (born 12 February 1969) is a Zimbabwean senator, businessman, political advisor, and philanthropist. Since October 2026, he has also served as Minister of Economic Development and Investment Promotion, having been appointed to the position by President Emmerson Mnangagwa. He is the founder and former chief executive of Sakunda Holdings, a conglomerate with interests in energy, mining, agriculture, and infrastructure. Tagwirei has been a close advisor to President Emmerson Mnangagwa and has played a significant role in Zimbabwe's economic and political landscape since the 2017 coup that ousted Robert Mugabe. Tagwirei has faced international sanctions from the United States and United Kingdom since 2020 over allegations of corruption and close ties to senior government officials.
In recent years, Tagwirei has expanded his influence into politics, including his co-option into the ZANU–PF Central Committee in October 2025 amid speculation about his potential role in the party's succession dynamics.
