Announcing the resignation on behalf of the Chairman and Board of Directors, company secretary, Caroline Kangara expressed gratefulness to Webster whom she said has left the company with “a strong balance sheet and commendable annual financial performance”.

In its last set of results, for the year to September 2023, Cafca’s turnover grew to $164 billion in inflation adjustment terms from $75 billion in 2022, emanating mainly from the volatility in the exchange rates.
