When Linda Mabhena-Olagunju became the first Black woman globally to own and operate a utility-scale renewable energy plant, she understood the milestone as both a deeply personal affirmation and a structural signal.

Mabhena-Olagunju is the founder and chief executive of DLO Energy Resources, a continental renewable energy platform that has grown from that first utility-scale asset…
African business leaders are currently navigating intense geopolitical and global economic shocks, while feeling the pressures of deploying emerging technologies all amidst growing demands for a different kind of corporate leadership. Change has always been a constant, not an event or an episode.

According to Dr Dots Ndletyana, Faculty Lead for the GIBS MPhil in Change Leadership, experienced middle and senior managers need to develop and evolve. She says, “We must recognise that there is no sustainable…
For centuries, humans have grappled with mortality and the fears it brings. We have spent just as long seeking ways to mitigate this risk and prolong life. This quest has included absurdities like ingesting liquid mercury in ancient China, performing young blood transfusions in the late Middle Ages and swallowing radioactive tonics in the early twentieth century. Today, modern medical advances are making longer lifespans a reality. However, these achievements have brought a new challenge in the form of longevity risk, the exact opposite of what we always feared. Longevity risk is the risk of outliving one’s savings, and this…

The move marks a significant shift in the continent’s fintech landscape, bringing together iVeri’s nearly 30-year legacy of robust payment infrastructure and the vision of one of South Africa’s most accomplished entrepreneurs. “Payments keeps drawing me back because it is infrastructural in nature,” Smit explains. “Trends come and go, but the need to move money never does, and that is exactly where I want to be. The acquisition is a return to those roots. For decades, iVeri…
When Zaydrian Reece Pillay walked into a business pitch meeting and introduced himself, the reaction from several chief executives in the room made it clear they did not take him seriously. The dismissals came largely because of his age, though in hindsight, Pillay now acknowledges that part of their criticism was valid. His communication at that point was not sharp enough. He was leading with enthusiasm rather than clarity. That day, he was not the most prepared person in the room. He has made certain that he always is now. Pillay is the founder and chief executive of LinkLogic Solutions,…
The African Energy Chamber (AEC) has welcomed bp’s acquisition of a 60% operating interest in three offshore exploration blocks in Namibia, describing the move as a strong endorsement of Africa’s frontier basins and the continent’s growing role in global energy supply.
