Weak controls and Governance Structures
Based on both my own experience and the experiences shared by others, I would strongly caution against entrusting African Bank with your money. In my view, the bank does not demonstrate the level of safety, reputation, or governance one would expect from a financial institution. The internal controls appear weak, and the overall governance framework is concerning. I would not want anyone else to go through what I experienced.

10 Apr 2026, 09:38I escalated concerns across all levels of the organisation, from employees and consultants to Heads of Department, and ultimately to Zweli. What became clear at every stage was a fundamental lack of understanding of core banking principles.
It is deeply concerning that this institution appears to operate outside of regulatory expectations, while aggressively defending decisions that are clearly flawed. There is a significant and systemic deficiency in both product knowledge and regulatory awareness.
As a result, I no longer have confidence in engaging further with the bank and have escalated this matter to the relevant regulatory authorities.
