Ngwenya is leaving the bank at the end of the month after he opted not to renew his contract.
In a statement, Steward Bank board chairman Oluwatomisin Fashina said the process of appointing a substantive chief executive officer “is currently underway, and an announcement will be made once finalised”.
Mambondiani joined Steward Bank in July last year as Strategy, Business Development and E-Banking Executive.
“In this role he contributed to the overall strategic direction of the business as directed by the Board and was team leader in the development of the bank’s new products and channels,” Fashina said.
