Harare - Old Mutual Zimbabwe on Wednesday reported a 4% increase in total revenue to US$126m for the six months to end-June 2015.

Profit for the year also went up to $13.2m from $10.2m, resulting in earnings per share of 3.8 US cents from 2.8c prior year comparative.
In a statement accompanying the results, management said performance was driven by growth in the banking and insurance businesses.
