A New Dawn

Hello and welcome to the 88th edition of Africa Outlook!

In our first offering of 2021, you’ll find an issue that is full of exclusive interviews with some of the biggest companies across Africa.

This month’s cover feature sees us interview Johan Steyn, Managing Director at Aerosud, to discuss his organisation’s position as the manufacturer of choice for some of the largest aerospace firms worldwide. “Our wide-ranging capabilities is a unique offering – often referred as the Swiss army knife,” he says. “Deep rooted engineering capability also allows Aerosud to industrialise new products and processes in an independent manner – without significant oversight by the customer.”

Elsewhere, we shine a light on Nigeria and explore how the country is reducing its reliance on agriculture and branching out to other business ventures.

Featuring in our Expert Eye column is Dr. Kevin K. Kariuki, Vice President for Power, Energy, Climate and Green Growth at the African Development Bank, as he examines how a second wave of reforms could change Africa’s energy story. “Africa’s energy sector has made significant progress, yet despite its immense energy resources, it grapples with utilising these resources to power itself,” explains Kariuki.

Be sure to check out our deep dive into Mining Indaba 2021 as we preview this year’s virtual event and showcase the event’s role in connecting the global mining community together.
