Editor’s Note

Welcome to the March issue of African Review, bringing you the latest news and insights around the continent’s key industries to keep your business flourishing.

While geopolitical developments are waving a blanket of economic uncertainty over the globe, the will to prosper in the face of these challenges is palpable; nowhere was this more apparent than at the recently-concluded Investing in African Mining Indaba. Our review of the Cape Town conference, where Africa’s mining community gathered to unlock opportunities and investment, spotlights the pressing concerns, such as ESG, which were discussed (page 38).

In construction, we explore the lack of female representation in the industry alongside promising environmental initiatives in an exclusive interview with Ghislaine Tessa Ketcha, CEO of Millenium Group, following her double win at The Big 5 Construction Impact Awards 2022 (page 34). We also look ahead to the upcoming CONEXPO-CON/AGG conference and explore some of the solutions that will be on display in Las Vegas (page 32).

Elsewhere, our air cargo report tracks the factors driving the sector’s recovery since its dip during the pandemic (page 15) and we assess some of the energy sources being stimulated to help the continent meet its energy requirements (pages 24 and 25).

These are but some of the features that make up our March issue, alongside our regular round-up of news that is shaping the industries that matter to you. To remain in the know, read ahead, visit our website and remember that African Review remains your faithful business partner to keep you moving forward.
