Botswana-based and pan-African microfinancier Letshego has announced the resignation of its Group Chief Finance Officer, Tinotenda Gwendoline Muteiwa, marking the departure of one of the pan-African lender’s most senior executives.
In a notice to shareholders released on 2 March 2026, the Botswana Stock Exchange-listed inclusive finance group said Muteiwa resigned on 27 February 2026 “to pursue other interests.” She will serve a three-month notice period, ending on 26 May 2026.
Muteiwa also steps down from her role as Executive Director on the company’s board.
“The Board and staff of Letshego would like to thank Muteiwa for her leadership and valuable contribution during her tenure,” the company said in the statement.
Muteiwa has been a central figure in Letshego’s finance function, overseeing group financial strategy, capital management and reporting across its multi-country operations. Letshego operates in several markets across sub-Saharan Africa, providing micro-lending, savings, insurance and digital financial services primarily to government employees and underserved communities.
A chartered accountant by training, Muteiwa brings more than two decades of experience in banking and financial services across Southern and East Africa. Before joining Letshego, she held senior finance roles within regional banking groups, building a track record in balance sheet management, regulatory engagement and cross-border financial oversight.
Her tenure at Letshego coincided with a period of balance sheet optimisation and a sharpened focus on digital channels, as the group sought to strengthen asset quality and improve operational efficiency amid tightening macroeconomic conditions in several of its markets.
The company has not yet named a successor.
