The trio founded the predecessor institution of BancABC Group in 1995 in Zimbabwe and expanded it, through organic growth and acquisitions, into a highly successful a pan-African financial institution with banking operations in five countries in Southern Africa - Botswana, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe and an operations office in South Africa.
In 2014, the founders successfully negotiated the acquisition of BancABC by Atlas Mara Co-Invest, a sub-Saharan African financial services group. Soon after, they embarked on establishing DBF Capital Partners, in line with their objective to focus on business opportunities with growth potential.
In establishing DBF Capital Partners, the founders, through their network of regional and international partners, successfully raised capital to finance viable projects that met with company’s investment criteria.
