Boardroom Refresh: How MTN Stacked Its Board With New Independents

SADC ninth Industrialisation Week: regional economic opportunity — and what comes next

EU-SADC programme portfolio – market impact and regional growth for regional operators
A regional trade partnership that has run for a decade produces, on its tenth anniversary, a number rather than a narrative: €195.9 million mobilised by the European Union across ten projects in the Southern African Development Community. That figure is precise. What...
EU-SADC programme portfolio across SADC – institutional capability and what comes next
Regional integration announcements tend to be reported as decisions — a financing envelope confirmed, a sector named, an anniversary marked. What they rarely make visible is the narrower and more consequential question of which specific institutions and individuals...
EU-SADC programme portfolio – destination and travel value – across SADC member states
Conservation financing and tourism economics rarely appear in the same sentence as a diplomatic anniversary, yet one of the ten projects confirmed this week inside a €195.9 million EU-SADC financing portfolio is named NaturAfrica II, a programme sitting inside the...
EU-SADC programme portfolio across SADC: policy and strategy logic and what comes next

EU-SADC programme portfolio – consumer demand and adoption – across SADC member states

EU-SADC programme portfolio across SADC – the evidence and archive and what comes next
A newsroom covering regional integration in real time faces a narrower version of the problem every archivist eventually confronts: the official record of an event is rarely the complete record of what that event actually changed. This week's SADC-EU review,...
EU-SADC programme portfolio across SADC: capital and bankability – and what comes next
Ten years after the EU-SADC Economic Partnership Agreement was signed, the region's financing relationship with Brussels has produced a figure any capital-markets desk would recognise as a portfolio number rather than a project one: €195.9 million mobilised...
EU-SADC programme portfolio – farm-to-market implications for SADC firms and investors
Agriculture appears first among the six sectors named in this week's SADC-EU review, ahead of trade, natural resources management and infrastructure, which is either a meaningful signal about where the region's largest external development partner intends to...
EU-SADC programme portfolio across SADC: built-market implications and what comes next
Infrastructure development sits inside a list of six sectors named this week by SADC and the EU, wedged between digital transformation and natural resources management in a communiqué that reads, on first pass, like a routine diplomatic summary. For a...
The Needle Eye Review: Retail Reality and Consumer Power in Zambia, Botswana and Zimbabwe
African consumer markets continue to be interpreted through lenses that are often disconnected from lived experience. Institutional reports, aggregated datasets, and external advisory perspectives provide high-level insight, but they frequently fail to capture the...
The Spark Plug Effect: How to Survive Market Pressure and Scale Across Borders
Growth is an unknown language in business because it has not happened until the entrepreneur makes it happen. It is not a passive guarantee—it is a deliberate mechanical action that requires constant translation into strategy and execution. Imagine a beautifully...
Africanessence: How Ubuntu Is Reshaping Corporate Culture Across Africa
