He is a core group member of the Act4Food campaign, spearheading "valuing local and indigenous food knowledge and strengthening local food systems." He is also a youth leader with the Scaling Up Nutrition Movement (SUN). Webster graduated this year from the University of Zimbabwe Law School. His dissertation looked at the question of ‘the justiciability of the right to food in Zimbabwe's constitutional system’.

He is also the curator of a mini-food festival under Act4Food in Zimbabwe called NhapiTapi Food Festival.
