“Upon learning about the sad demise of Ambassador Fulgence Kazaura, I would like to present sincere condolences to the members of the family, on behalf of myself as well as the Directors, Management and Staff of BANK OF AFRICA -TANZANIA. As Chairman, Ambassador Kazaura conducted brilliantly the
meetings of the Board of Directors since 1996, which contributed to the development of the bank’s activities and products in the Tanzanian market. His numerous friends among the Directors and Management had deep respect for him and now feel that they have lost a dear friend. May he rest in eternal peace and may the Almighty grant you the necessary courage to go through these difficult moments.”

“I felt sad after receiving the news of the passing away of Ambassador Kazaura. As Chairman of BANK OF AFRICA – TANZANIA, he managed the Board’s discussions with skill and efficiency while simultaneously creating a friendly atmosphere. He was respected by all the Directors and his absence will be felt in our future meetings.”

“Chairman Kazaura was a living example. It is possible to have, at the same time, different qualities: the authority, the simplicity, the skill and the kindness, dedication, competency. I’m very glad to have worked with him for a couple of years and he will still be a precious support for the bank and myself.”
