A keen researcher on corporate governance and ethics, he published a book “Corporate Governance Consultancy” in 2011, and has studied law and medical ethics with Edinburgh University, and commercial law with the University of Derby. He is an admirer and student of Peter Drucker, and a believer in online and distance education.

In 2012/2013, he made six transatlantic trips to Africa to conduct research, as part of a team of nine experts commissioned by the Southern African Development Community (SADC), a group of fifteen countries. The team evaluated SADC’s 15‐Year Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan. Dr. Mazhambe says, “Students in my class can expect to learn about business management. I will stretch them. I prefer discussions to lectures, which is why I teach at a small college. I will give 100 percent effort to assist students to achieve student learning outcomes and prepare them to be competent managers and leaders. They will definitely know about the benefits of a Christian and ethical approach to business management. The goal is to give students the skills and abilities for the next phase of learning experience in the workplace”. He is a consultant on corporate governance, regional economic integration, private sector development, strategic management, and missions to Zimbabwe
