On outstanding recognition in 2017 she received a special award – “Women In Energy Leadership” from the Minister of Energy SA and in 2007 she was awarded “Technology Women In Business 2007 Business Woman of the Year” by the Department of Minerals and Energy in South Africa.

She is a practical teacher of the Word of God, with a special focus on The Kingdom of God, Faith Foundations, Forgiveness and Emotional healing, Kingdom Wealth Creation and Personal Development. Her passion is to see women fully empowered in all areas of life.

Dr Nepistance is double board- certified in Obesity Medicine and Internal Medicine. She is a graduate of AMFCC, USA & Kenneth Copeland Bible College. She is an ordained chaplain and minister. She also holds a PhD in Theology & is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Educational Leadership through Oral Roberts Univesity.

Dr Nepistance is blessed with 2 beautiful children. She is passionate about helping you to walk victoriously in health, so that you fulfill your purpose.

She knows the harder version of the story too: Chilmund began as a trading entity and made the deliberate, risky decision to become a manufacturer, acquiring production capability through a technology-transfer partnership with China and building its quality standards hand-in-hand with the Standards Association of Zimbabwe. That journey from trading to manufacturing is the heart of what she teaches: how a business starts, how it grows, and how it survives the transition.

Her expertise spans business start-up, SME development, manufacturing, and business growth and continuity, with a particular focus on succession planning — building enterprises that outlive their founders. This is a published research area, not a passing interest: she has co-authored studies on the factors driving succession planning adoption among manufacturing SMEs in Harare Metropolitan Province, and on emotional intelligence and employee turnover in family-owned businesses, published in Futures and other public domains.

Her philanthropic work centers on girls’ empowerment and community development, and she is a passionate advocate for purpose-driven leadership. She is proud that Chilmund’s production is run by female engineers, with women holding strategic positions throughout the company — empowerment built into the operation rather than bolted on.

Dr. Aida is a devoted mother who values faith, family, and lasting legacy — core principles that shape her character, inform her leadership, and inspire her purpose in building lasting impact in business, church, and community.
