About Us

Africa Global is a consulting, advisory and project sponsor firm; providing services to selected clients, and sponsoring carefully chosen projects. Our mission is to be a trusted partner, providing independent and objective advice and execution excellence.

We believe in relationships, rather than just transactions; and only take on clients and projects where we feel it is in the best interest of the client or project partner, and where we are certain we can create value.

We therefore only accept a limited number of clients and projects at all times: to ensure that we treat each with deep focus, best-in-class service or project sponsorship, and the highest levels of confidentiality and discretion.

Reputation and credibility are invaluable assets, which are essential to building an institution that can stand the test of time. We seek to maintain and build our institutional foundations on trust, reputation and credibility, and ensuring that client and partner interests come first.

This is one of our guiding principles, even where for instance, that means advising a client not to do a transaction that would generate revenues for our firm, or similarly, not sponsoring a profitable project.

This may be for a myriad of reasons: for example, because we feel that the transaction is not currently advisable for the client. A case might be a client requesting us to carry out an Initial Public Offering (IPO) for them; whereas we believe that taking more time to develop their business, strengthen corporate governance and other actions is in the client’s best interest. Comparably, we may chose not to sponsor a project because we believe it is not advisable for the project or asset owner.

We always give that objective advice even when we know it may not be what the client or partner wants to hear. It may lead to missing out on some transactions, but we do not compromise on always speaking the truth as we perceive it. Of course, we also listen and are completely open to debate and discussion. With clients and project partners who welcome our honesty and objectivity, we find that it establishes mutual trust and thereby allows us to deliver value.

Our Guiding Principles are:

Our clients’ interests come first and foremost before any other consideration when accepting and implementing any mandate.
We do not accept any client or project unless we believe it is in the best interest of the client or project owner, and we are certain that we can add value.
We always provide independent, objective and frank advice.
We aspire to be exceptional in all we do, including providing best-in-class service quality or project sponsorship, and world class execution excellence.
We maintain the highest levels of integrity, confidentiality and discretion.
A commitment to environmental sustainability is an integral element of our values, and we embed this commitment into our working practices and activities.
We are dedicated to the highest duty of care for our team of employees and project personnel at all levels; and aim to support our colleagues in all ways possible.
We also seek to provide opportunities for continuous development and growth to our colleagues and partners: both professionally and personally.

OUR SERVICES

Advisory

Our mission is to serve as a trusted advisor to our selected clients: including private and publicly listed Companies, Financial Institutions, Governments and Public Corporations; as well as to Boards of Directors, Executive Management and/or Committees.

In line with our mission, we seek to fully understand the goals and objectives of our clients and provide best-in-class independent and objective advice. To that end, we also aim for execution excellence on transactions across the full range of products and services.

Consulting

We provide both overall strategic consulting services, as well as project management consulting to our selected clients. We seek to continuously remain abreast of developments in the external environment that affect our clients, as well as also maintaining ongoing dialogues, to ensure that we are always aware of internal developments.

This allows us to maintain our overall mission of providing independent and objective advice. As with all our services, we also seek to be mindful of various sensitivities and maintain the highest levels of integrity, confidentiality and discretion.

Project Sponsorship

We initiate and execute selected projects in the energy, infrastructure, financial services, technology, telecommunications, media and entertainment spaces as a project sponsor. We support project or asset owners to achieve their objectives, and tailor our solutions appropriately. We also conceptualize and sponsor projects as a principal.

Our project sponsorship is end-to-end: including project conception/initiation, defining and/or refining the project scope, developing the business and commercial case and relevant analytics, establishing costs and budgets, detailing technical work packages, logistical metrics and timelines, structuring and procuring the appropriate finance, all the way through to final project execution and close-out.

Innovation

Media, entertainment, technology and telecommunication industries have become inextricably linked. Innovation in this group is a fundamental requirement and way of being. However, constant innovation, driven primarily - but not solely - by technology: is now a fact of life for virtually all participants in the global economy. We ensure that we continuously follow the latest developments across all the areas that our clients are interested in or involved with. We combine this, where applicable, with supporting our clients in developing or updating their strategy, adoption and/or use of the full range of tools and platforms available.

We keep clients constantly informed and aware of opportunities and competitive challenges: to ensure that innovation becomes an increasingly embedded part of their operations, setting of goals and objectives, and strategic planning.
