Tanganda was initially listed in 1963 and remained listed for forty-five years from 1963-2008. The company voluntarily delisted from the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange in 2008 following the merger with other entities into Kingdom Meikles Africa Limited (KMAL). Subsequently KMAL demerged in 2011 with Tanganda remaining a wholly owned subsidiary of Meikles Limited.
The 3rd of February 2022 marks a historic day as Meikles Limited unbundled Tanganda which relisted separately on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange.
