- CAFCA Limited manufactures and supplies electrical cables, conductors, and allied transmission products for the transmission and distribution of electrical power and telecommunication signals. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Harare, Zimbabwe, the company operates as a subsidiary of CBI-Electric: African Cables, which is ultimately owned by the South African industrial group Reunert Limited. CAFCA Limited serves public power utilities, mining corporations, construction contractors, agricultural enterprises, telecommunication operators, and electrical distributors across Southern and Central Africa, including Zimbabwe, South Africa, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The company manufactures an extensive portfolio of over 900 cabling products categorized across low- and medium-voltage power distribution cables, including 11kV cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated cables, overhead aerial bundled conductors (ABC), paper-insulated lead-covered cables, and steel-wire armoured underground power cables; building and domestic installation wiring, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC) conduit wires, flat twin-and-earth cables, and flexible appliance cords; industrial and specialized cables, including control and instrumentation cables, panel and switchgear wiring, submersible pump cables, railway signaling wires, blasting wire, and detonator cables; renewable energy products, including specialized photovoltaic solar cables; telecommunications and data cabling, including multi-pair copper telephone cables and drop wires; and allied electrical hardware, including solid copper earth rods, automotive wiring, busbars, and bare copper and aluminium overhead conductors. In addition to finished goods manufacturing, CAFCA Limited provides toll manufacturing services, allowing customers to supply raw copper cathode, aluminium ingots, or scrap metal for conversion into finished conductors; scrap cable recovery, buyback, and recycling programs; and technical cable design, testing, and engineering advisory services. In recent developments, CAFCA Limited transitioned its functional and financial reporting currency to the United States Dollar to protect operations against domestic currency volatility and better align with its regional trade profile. To capitalize on the regional energy transition, the company launched and expanded dedicated solar photovoltaic cabling lines to serve expanding commercial and residential off-grid installations. Operationally, CAFCA Limited scaled up cross-border toll manufacturing partnerships with parent entity CBI-Electric African Cables and regional industrial clients to mitigate raw material supply disruptions and foreign exchange constraints in export jurisdictions such as Malawi and Mozambique. Furthermore, the company optimized its Harare production facilities to achieve factory utilization rates of approximately 80% and first-pass quality yields exceeding 90%, while restructuring regional distribution networks to defend market share against imported and substandard cabling.
