Aron continued, “You may have heard of our recent group name change, from Barclays Africa Group Limited to Absa Group Limited. With this change comes more opportunity to strengthen our commitment towards Tanzania and Africa at large. We have a unique opportunity in the market to build an African brand that all African’s can be proud of”.
