Aliko Dangote has broken ground on a new fuel depot in Walvis Bay, Namibia, as part of a US$2.5 billion project to make fuel distribution across the region more efficient.
The project includes a 600-million-litre storage facility and a planned 1,700km pipeline across SADC.
Dangote says it will be completed within 18–20 months.
“We want to heavily invest so that most of the landlocked countries will be able to access petroleum products at a cheaper price”
Aliko Dangote speaks on his plans to build an oil pipeline network to supply fuel across Southern Africa.
The plan includes a 240-million-barrel storage facility at Walvis Bay, Namibia. Fuel would then be moved through a 2,600 km pipeline network
connecting Botswana, SA, Zim, Zambia and the DRC.
The region’s limited fuel storage and pipeline infrastructure leaves many countries relying on trucks to move fuel. This adds to costs and transit times.
Dangote’s plan is to invest in pipelines to lower those costs and help grow demand for his petroleum in SADC. In 2025, Dangote sold 158,000 tonnes of fuel to Southern Africa, compared with 4 million tonnes in West Africa.

ZEEX is set to launch its first IPO tomorrow, a milestone for Zimbabwe's new small business exchange.
Mwana Group, a Msasa-based maker of truck filters that also sells spare parts and lubricants and runs a workshop will seek to raise US$1 million at 5 US cents a share, with applications open to individuals from US$100.
The founder brings 15 years at Daimler, and the plans are bold: 1,000 filters a day, 15 outlets and a locally assembled tractor.

In danger of turning this into Instagram😅, this is when my thinking changed around startup funding for founders in Zim. Aluta Continua!
Judged some amazing founders’ pitches at the Ideas Festival. Zim SMEs need patient, PE-style growth capital: cash repaid from their own cash flows, plus hands-on support from an in-house team. These are solid businesses with real revenue. More below👇🏾

For World Food Day @NanloyF hosted a seed swap with @SAFCEI .
There were jars and packets of seed, stories about where they came from and memories of who had passed them down.
I spoke about seed sovereignty and how to save seed properly for future use.
