Print everything you need, where you need it! With the first transportable printer to deliver 101.60 mm wide labelling without cords or limits
Automated identification and data capture specialist Brady Corporation launches a new type of hybrid label printer that offers industrial label printing performance in a cordless, portable design.
Larger labels
Brady´s new BradyPrinter i4311 is designed to bridge the gap between stationary benchtop label printer power and mobile flexibility. A well-known limitation for most mobile label printers is the maximum width of the label. Brady´s i4311 marks the new maximum label width at 101.60 mm for connected label printing systems that retain true portability.
The larger print width brings a lot more applications into the mobile label printing range, including perforated work-in-progress tags, common size rating plates and larger cable tags, wraps, sleeves, asset labels, component labels and GHS-compliant chemical labels.
Cut the cord
No need to look for power outlets with the i4311. The printer is powered by a battery that can handle 5000 large labels on a single charge. Swapping batteries has been made easy and they can be charged in 3.5 hours.
Easy to integrate
The new BradyPrinter i4311 can print labels from phones, tablets and laptops, and even from central company systems using Brady´s software development kit or ZPL support. In addition to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, the i4311 also features ethernet and USB-C connections.
The printer´s on-board 7´´ (17.78 cm) touch screen offers both on-device support as well as the capability to print labels directly from the printer. Users can store on average different 85 000 label templates in the printer that can be completed with an on-board ´fill in´ option, fully responsive to your touch.
Industry feedback
Brady also revealed i4311 printer features that were developed with close involvement from the company´s long-standing customers. As a result, the printer´s footprint was limited to 23 x 23 x 33 cm and 5.9 kg and the device´s easy-to-grip handle was optimised.
A battery-saver was also added for when the printer is not in use and battery-swapping was made even easier.
Portable benchtop
Right in the middle of Brady´s mobile label printer and industrial benchtop label printer line ups now sits the BradyPrinter i4311: a portable printer with the company´s benchtop industrial printing capabilities.
Compatible with more than 1300 Brady label parts, the i4311 can print on a majority of Brady´s reliable, laboratory-tested label materials. Just like other Brady printers the i4311 includes LabelSense technology to automatically set label material burn, size and pre-print settings as soon as a label roll is loaded.
The company´s newest label printer also works with a host of free Brady Express Labels mobile apps. These enable users to select text in an image file for example, and import it for printing on a label. Or to read barcodes with a phone and send them to the printer. With a commanding voice, labels can even be printed completely hands-free, using BradyVoice, a smartphone microphone and the BradyPrinter i4311.

INZAG has taken delivery of a new Liebherr LTM 1090-4.2 mobile crane. (Image source: Liebherr)
INZAG has strengthened its equipment lineup with the addition of a new Liebherr LTM 1090-4.2 mobile crane
This four-axle unit enhances the capabilities of the globally active construction firm, offering a dependable and adaptable solution for complex tasks, particularly those linked to a major infrastructure development in southern Angola. The acquisition also reflects INZAG’s strategy of maintaining greater uniformity across its crane fleet. With this latest delivery, the company now operates two units of the 90-tonne model.
“Unlike crane hire companies, our aim is not to have the largest possible fleet with many different crane types, but rather a reliable all-rounder that is versatile and capable of handling both small and large lifts,” commented Lorenz Weber, procurement director at INZAG.
Beyond lifting performance, the company placed strong emphasis on safety and operational efficiency when selecting the crane. The four-axle configuration ensures excellent mobility while supporting cost-effective operations. Its adjustable axle load system enables smooth transportation across international routes and allows for flexible use on both highways and project sites. Additionally, integrated features such as ECOdrive and ECOmode contribute to lower fuel usage and reduced noise levels, supporting both operator comfort and environmental considerations.
First deployment in Angola requires flexibility
The crane’s first assignment will be in Angola, where INZAG is preparing for a major road infrastructure project. “With this new addition to our fleet, we are preparing for the start of a 146-kilometre road construction project in Angola,” explained Leandro Fernandez, managing director at INZAG.
The development focuses on upgrading the EN 140/295 national road, connecting the municipalities of Caiundo and Savate. Due to the remote nature of the site in southern Angola, relying on local crane rental services is not feasible.
“For this project, we needed a multifunctional crane that can be mobilised quickly, is flexible on site and can also be replaced during the operation – should that become necessary,” reported Weber.
The crane’s strong lifting performance and extended working radius made it particularly suited to the project’s demands.
“We will be using the new Liebherr crane primarily during the mobilisation phase, including for setting up camps and facilities, as well as for unloading and logistics tasks. It will also support operations at bitumen and precast plants, as well as the installation of box culverts,” remarked Fernandez.
Long-standing partnership and quality focus
INZAG continues to prioritise premium equipment and stringent quality standards across its operations. Many of its projects are supported by export financing from the German Federal Government, where the integration of German-engineered technology is a key requirement. The choice of Liebherr aligns with an established partnership between the two organisations.
“In addition to the machine itself, customer service, spare parts availability and technical support play a decisive role for us – requirements that Liebherr fulfils,” summarised Fernandez.
INZAG Germany GmbH specialises in delivering large-scale infrastructure developments across sub-Saharan Africa. Employing around 500 people, the company undertakes projects spanning road construction, water systems, energy infrastructure and port development. “We are currently active in Angola, Ghana and Uganda, among other places, combining European engineering expertise with extensive project experience in challenging markets,” said Weber. The company also provides export and trade services, facilitating connections between European OEMs and clients across Africa.
Africa’s largest installed base of mining pumps is supported by Weir’s technical know-how and reliable service network. (Image source: Weir)
Weir has built the most extensive footprint of dewatering and slurry pumps across Africa’s mining landscape by supporting customers in reducing operational risk
This is achieved through a combination of advanced engineering, ongoing equipment refinement and a service network grounded in a fully compliant social licence to operate.
Marnus Koorts, General Manager – Original Equipment at Weir, explained that the company’s market position is shaped not only by the strength of its pump technologies, but by a comprehensive value chain approach that addresses risk throughout the lifecycle of mining operations.
“Mining is continuous and extremely capital intensive, so equipment must perform reliably and optimally,” said Koorts. “It is no surprise, therefore, that mines are risk averse when partnering with solution providers – they need to deal with partners they can trust.”
He notes that meeting the demanding uptime and performance requirements of modern mines calls for deep process knowledge and engineering capability, supported by a widespread service presence across the continent.
“Our customers’ first question is often about our references in a specific country or commodity,” he said.
“Thanks to our extensive footprint and vast experience, we’re almost always familiar with their operating environments – from the minerals being mined and processing conditions to the local regulatory landscape.”
Koorts points out that Weir’s large installed base provides a key advantage, generating valuable operational data across diverse commodities, climates and working conditions. This data is continuously fed back into product development and refinement.
“We are continuously releasing new variants of components based on feedback from the field,” commented Koorts.
“We are also digitally monitoring a large portion of our installed base, so it is not just physical site visits, but smart monitoring that allows us to improve performance, longevity and total cost of ownership.”
These insights enable Weir to deliver practical solutions, including equipment standardisation across multiple sites. In one recent West African gold project, the company recommended a minor design modification that allowed two operations to adopt a unified mill pump configuration.
Drawing on experience from the first site, Weir advised the engineering contractor on aligning motors and gearboxes, resulting in significant savings on spare parts inventory while lowering the risk of downtime.
“We have this capability due to our institutional knowledge of hundreds of projects and product applications,” remarked Kroots.
“This is a crucial part of the value that we bring as an OEM where we can collaborate with customers in applying the best solutions possible.”
Koorts also emphasises the importance of regulatory compliance across different African markets, where procurement frameworks vary widely. Ensuring adherence to these requirements is critical for maintaining a strong and dependable value chain.
“Weir’s service network in Africa is staffed by local engineers, account managers and process specialists,” Koorts says. “We employ and empower local people, and we invest heavily in skills development.”
The company’s graduate programmes play a key role in this effort, recruiting talent from regional universities and developing young engineers into long-term professionals within the organisation.
“This is all part of being a good corporate citizen and it ensures that our customers are supported by experts who understand the terrain, the language and the mining culture,” he says.
Weir’s continued success in Africa reflects its understanding that supplying pumps is only one part of the value it delivers. This is reinforced by engineering expertise, a strong local presence, continuous performance data and governance systems that support a sustainable social licence to operate.
“Working with Weir gives customers access to our knowledge, our compliance and our ability to mitigate their operational risk. Our market leading products are just the visible part of a complex value chain,” Koorts concludes.
Finance boost for Africa’s supply chain sector (Image source: Adobe Stock)
Standard Chartered and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) have announced a new risk sharing facility aimed at strengthening supply chains across Africa
The partnership will introduce supply chain finance solutions in eight markets – Ivory Coast, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia – supporting companies in key sectors such as agriculture, healthcare and manufacturing.
The facility aims to help ensure suppliers get faster payments, freeing up working capital to improve production, pay wages and hire.
The risk-sharing facility will cover up to US$300mn in supply chain and trade finance assets originated by Standard Chartered in Africa.
It comprises a range of underlying supply chain financing instruments – such as payables finance, receivables discounting and pre-shipment finance programmes – to help smaller firms get paid earlier, reduce the cost of working capital, and invest in growth.
“This US$300mn facility with IFC underscores our shared commitment to strengthening Africa's supply chains and enabling sustainable business growth,” said Dalu Ajene, chief executive and head of coverage, Standard Chartered Africa.
“As a super-connector bank with deep expertise across key trade corridors linking Africa to Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas, we are uniquely positioned to channel capital and innovation into the real economy. By expanding access to supply chain finance, we are helping African companies unlock liquidity, manage risk, and invest with confidence.”
Ajene said the collaboration unites Standard Chartered’s cross-border expertise with IFC’s development mandate to empower businesses – from major corporations to smaller local suppliers – “to engage more actively in regional and global trade, fostering job creation and promoting inclusive growth.”
IFC will provide guarantees for up to US$150mn from its own account, with US$100mn committed as the first tranche under the scheme, to support transactions in both US dollars and selected local currencies.
Over the next three years, the partnership is projected to enable about US$1.9bn in supply chain finance transactions, providing access to finance for firms across Africa.
It aims to support more than 500 suppliers, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs), in both domestic and global value chains, with the potential to indirectly benefit over 1 million farmers.
“Supply chain finance is among the fastest ways to narrow the growing finance gap that businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises, are facing in emerging economies,” said Mohamed Gouled, IFC’s vice president, products & clients.
“By partnering with Standard Chartered to support companies at the center of strategic value chains, we can unlock much-needed working capital at scale for businesses across Africa, including smaller firms and farmers, making supply chains more competitive and boosting job creation.”
According to IFC, global demand for supply chain finance has surged – in 2025, the estimated volume reached about US$2.7trn, showing an 8% increase year-on-year.
Yet supply chain finance has not scaled at the same pace in emerging markets, it says, especially in lower income and fragile contexts, largely because commercial banks tend to focus on developed markets.

Zambia's infrastructure vital for economic prosperity (Image source: Adobe Stock)
As regional trade intensifies and supply chains come under increasing pressure, Stanbic Bank says the next phase of Africa’s corridor development will be defined not by infrastructure investment alone, but by how efficiently those systems convert movement into economic value
Reflecting on the recent Land‑Linked Zambia 2026, under the theme, ‘Beyond Borders: Shaping the Future of Africa’s Transport Corridors for Shared Prosperity’, Stanbic noted a decisive shift in the corridor conversation, from long‑term infrastructure ambition to the immediate economics of execution.
“What has changed is not the recognition of corridors as critical assets, but the urgency around how they perform,” said head business & commercial bank, Chanda Mwila. “The question is no longer what needs to be built, but how effectively existing systems translate activity into growth.”
As Zambia consolidates its position as a land‑linked trade hub, rising mining output, increased fuel flows and expanding regional trade are driving sustained volumes through key routes. According to Mwila, this is exposing a more complex reality: inefficiency within corridors is no longer a logistical inconvenience, but a direct economic constraint.
“Every delay, every point of friction, has a cost,” Mwila said. “It affects how quickly capital turns, how reliably businesses can operate, and ultimately how competitive entire value chains become.”
Corridor performance is increasingly shaping investment decisions, with predictability and reliability emerging as critical factors alongside physical capacity.
“Investors are not only assessing infrastructure availability, but they are also assessing system performance,” Mwila noted. “The ability to move goods consistently, manage timelines and reduce uncertainty is now central to how markets are evaluated.”
From a financial sector perspective, Stanbic emphasised that enabling trade at scale requires closer alignment between logistics systems and financial flows. While infrastructure enables movement, it is the efficiency of transactions that determines whether value is realised.
“Trade does not stall only at borders; it stalls in systems. Payment delays, constrained access to working capital and currency complexity all slow the movement of goods as much as physical bottlenecks do,” added Mwila.
As trade volumes increase, these inefficiencies compound, tying up liquidity and limiting the ability of businesses to respond to demand across markets.
“The velocity of trade is directly linked to the velocity of capital. Improving corridor performance is therefore as much a financial priority as it is an operational one.”
Stanbic reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Zambia’s trade and logistics ecosystem through solutions designed to improve capital flow, enhance transaction efficiency and enable more predictable cross‑border operations.
The recent conference highlighted a powerful, co-ordinated push to transform Zambia from a landlocked nation into a strategic land-linked hub for the African continent.
Minister of Transport and Logistics, Frank Tayali delivered the keynote address, emphasising the urgent need for Africa to prioritise internal trade.
“Africa must trade more with itself before it trades with the rest of the world,” stated Tayali. “We cannot continue to export raw materials across oceans while importing finished goods at higher cost.”
The Minister outlined infrastructure advancements aimed at restoring Zambia’s strategic advantage, including the revitalisation of TAZARA, the recapitalisation of Zambia Railways, and the ambitious Kafue-Lion’s Den railway project with Zimbabwe. The implementation of one-stop border posts at Kazungula, Chirundu, Nakonde, and Mwami is also reducing delays and improving trade efficiency.
However, Tayali stressed that infrastructure alone is insufficient. The future lies in evolving these routes into comprehensive economic corridors by establishing logistics hubs, dry ports, agro-processing zones and industrial parks to ensure local communities benefit directly from trade.
Stanbic Bank reaffirmed its commitment to enabling regional commerce by providing essential working capital to keep fleets and supply chains moving, and by facilitating the cross-border payments that underpin the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
Mwila added: “Prosperity beyond borders will not be achieved by infrastructure alone, or by any single institution. It will be achieved through co-ordinated action, informed decision-making, and a shared commitment to execution.”
The Land-Linked Zambia 2026 Conference concluded with a unified call to action for deeper regional partnerships, harmonised regulations, and joint investments. By choosing collaboration over competition, Zambia and its regional partners are laying the groundwork to reduce the cost of doing business and redefine Africa’s place in the global economy.

DP World launches Brazil-Africa logistics corridor
Steenkampskraal Monazite Mine begins construction of a new processing plant to boost South Africa’s rare earth supply chain. (Image source: Steenkampskraal Monazite Mine)
Steenkampskraal Monazite Mine (SMM) has marked the official start of construction of its new monazite processing plant with a ceremonial soil-turning event
The milestone forms part of the mine’s phased development strategy and is expected to position South Africa as a producer of high-grade monazite concentrate, an important feedstock for rare earth elements used in renewable energy, electronics, medical and defence technologies.
The announcement follows recent operational progress at the site. SMM said it has successfully commissioned its on-site laboratory and, for the first time in more than 60 years, produced monazite concentrate through its metallurgical circuit.
Graham Soden, CEO of SMM, said, “The initial product has demonstrated approximately 50% total rare earth oxide (TREO) content, confirming the high-grade nature of the deposit. In parallel, the mine’s hydrometallurgical laboratory circuit is currently undergoing optimisation. Early results have been encouraging, with production of mixed rare earth carbonate (MREC) and cracked thorium anticipated in the near term.”
The new processing facility, located close to the existing underground decline shaft exit, will receive monazite-rich ore directly through a purpose-built conveyor belt system. Ore from underground operations will be transferred to the surface plant for initial concentration using gravity separation and flotation technology.
According to the company, the Steenkampskraal plant has been designed to achieve steady-state annual production of around 13,400 tonnes of monazite concentrate containing more than 50% total rare earth oxides (TREO). During the initial ramp-up phase, output is expected to begin at approximately 6,600 tonnes per year, rising to full capacity by the end of the first year.
“This phase will use proven gravity separation and flotation technology, optimised through modern refinements and pilot testing by the Saskatchewan Research Council and Mintek. The process flow draws on the successful methods used during Anglo American’s historic operations at Steenkampskraal between 1952 and 1963. It has been adapted for modern environmental standards and incorporates a multi-gravity separation circuit, currently under evaluation for enhanced recovery efficiency.
“The processing plant will receive feedstock from both historic surface stockpiles and underground ore, minimising initial capital expenditure and operational risk. This approach provides early revenue generation while refurbishment of underground infrastructure continues in parallel. The design also includes a front-end comminution and milling circuit, ensuring consistent feed quality to the concentrator and allowing for optimal grade control.
“Phase 1 forms the foundation for subsequent processing stages, including hydrometallurgical treatment, oxide separation and product manufacturing, all of which will be undertaken within South Africa to maximise local beneficiation and value retention.”
Enock Mathebula, executive chairperson of SMM, added, “This phase represents the practical realisation of our strategy to re-establish Steenkampskraal as a globally significant source of rare earth materials.
“We are leveraging proven metallurgical processes, supported by modern technology and strong compliance standards, to ensure a sustainable and efficient operation that benefits both the national economy and local communities.
“The soil-turning event is more than a construction milestone, it is the foundation of Steenkampskraal’s commercial future. By establishing dedicated ore transport and processing infrastructure, we are creating South Africa’s first dedicated monazite concentration facility. This concentrate represents our initial revenue-generating product and will serve as feedstock for subsequent value-adding stages, including mixed rare earth carbonate and thorium production.
“The soil-turning demonstrates our commitment to rapid, responsible development. With funding secured and construction now underway, we are on track to establish a revenue-generating process before the end of 2026. This will not only generate early cash flow but also create jobs, support local communities and contribute to South Africa’s critical minerals strategy. Offtake discussions for the concentrate are already advanced with international partners.
“The Steenkampskraal deposit is recognised as one of the highest-grade rare earth and thorium resources globally, with a NI 43-101 compliant current resource of 665,000 tonnes at 14.5% TREO and significant co-products including thorium (2.14%). The spade-ready project benefits from fully developed underground and surface infrastructure, full regulatory licensing and an experienced mining partner, Bora Mining Investments (BMI).”
“SMM remains committed to sustainable practices, including environmental rehabilitation, community skills development and compliance with all nuclear and environmental regulations.”
Located in the Western Cape, Steenkampskraal Monazite Mine is a rare earth and thorium project owned by Steenkampskraal Holdings in partnership with Bora Mining Investments (BMI). The company said the fully permitted project is progressing a phased development plan to produce monazite concentrate, mixed rare earth carbonates, thorium and eventually separated rare earth oxides, supporting global critical minerals supply chains.
Enlit Africa targets investment readiness. (Image source: VUKA Group)
Across Africa’s power and water sectors, the project pipeline is rarely the problem. Announcements, memoranda of understanding and opportunity lists are everywhere. The harder question is whether those opportunities are ready for capital, ready for diligence and ready for decisions
That is where many projects still lose momentum. Investors, development finance institutions and lenders are not short of interest in African infrastructure. They are short of opportunities that arrive with enough structure, clarity and maturity to move quickly through assessment. Developers face their own difficult reality: permitting delays, uncertain offtake arrangements, stakeholder misalignment, grid constraints and project timelines that can shift before financing is secured.
The result is a persistent gap between project intent and bankable progress.
In practical terms, projects often stall because the fundamentals are not yet strong enough. Revenue certainty remains a major pressure point, particularly around offtake, tariff realism, creditworthiness and enforcement. Grid access is another critical issue, especially when connection capacity and transmission build-out cannot keep pace with development ambition. Permitting, land rights, risk allocation, data room readiness, governance, delivery capability, country risk and currency exposure all influence whether capital can move with confidence.
Across the continent, there are many strong project concepts. The bigger challenge is developing more opportunities that are investable at speed.
This is the challenge the Project & Investment Network, taking place at Enlit Africa 2026, is designed to address. Rather than treating investment conversations like ordinary networking, P&IN aims to create a more structured deal-making environment where investors, developers, utilities, public sector leaders and financiers can engage with clearer intent.
The emphasis is on mechanisms rather than marketing. Stronger matchmaking, sharper project briefings and decision-focused dialogue can help reduce the friction that often slows investment conversations. For developers, this means testing whether their projects are truly ready for investor scrutiny. For financiers, it means engaging with opportunities that are better aligned to mandates, risk appetite and delivery expectations. For public sector and utility leaders, it creates space to confront the delivery constraints that shape bankability in practice.
A key feature of the programme is its focus on what happens next. Too many infrastructure conversations end with broad interest but no disciplined follow-through. P&IN is intended to help participants define the immediate milestones that can move a project closer to investment readiness, whether that involves clearer risk allocation, stronger documentation, more realistic timelines or better alignment between stakeholders.
This matters because Africa’s infrastructure constraints are no longer abstract development challenges. They are delivery constraints affecting grid reliability, industrial growth, water security and economic competitiveness. Capital can play a transformative role, but only where opportunities are structured well enough for risk to be understood, priced and managed.
Enlit Africa 2026 takes place from 19 to 21 May at the CTICC in Cape Town, co-located with Water Security Africa, the Utility CEO Forum, the Municipal Forum, Women in Energy and the Project & Investment Network. Together, these platforms bring decision-makers into the same environment to confront the practical questions shaping Africa’s energy and water future.
For developers, investors, DFIs, utilities and public sector leaders, the message is clear: project ambition on its own will not unlock capital. The next frontier is bankability, decision velocity and disciplined execution.

In the final webinar of its African Review-hosted 2023 campaign, Convergent Group explored its modern, eco-friendly concrete solutions for African projects
Such solutions – delivered to cut maintenance costs by eliminating hazardous silicate products – were showcased by company experts in the form of Jean-Claude Biard, SEO of Convergent Group SA; Mputu Schmidt, former CEO of Convergent Group SA and founder of Bondeko MB (exclusive distributor of Convergent Group in Africa); Carlos Garcia, technical and sales for ADI Group (Spanish distributor for Convergent Group); and Amritpal Singh Sura, external consultant for flooring treatments, former distributor of Convergent products in the Middle East.
“A number of projects we were doing in the Middle East required protection,” remarked Sura. “Longevity of protection requires a system which basically impregnates and becomes a densified surface as opposed to something which is topical and lifts off due to moisture migration. I found that being exposed to Convergent, it was important to stay focused on those systems in the Middle East. Jean-Claude, Mputu and I met several times in Dubai and there was emphasis on providing systems which were affordable and still ending up having a robust, lasting longevity of product. So you are not spending money all the time in order to maintain the finishes which you have already paid for.”
Over the course of the session, the participants guided the audience through the potential of cutting-edge lithium silicate technology for enhancing the protection of concrete surfaces, maximising cost-effectiveness and meeting sustainability targets.

Presenting on an African Review-hosted webinar, Martin Provencher, global industry principal for mining, metals and materials at AVEVA, explored the digital transformation of mining operations and its impact on sustainability.
“Sustainability is becoming a key aspect for mining operations,” remarked Provencher. “If we look at the latest EY research on the top ten business risks and opportunities for mining and metals globally in 2023, ESG remains at the top. Of course, most companies have environmental goals or are expected to reach a net zero emission by 2050, which is a pretty aggressive target. Many of them are targeting 30% reduction by 2030; seven years from now. So there is a lot of action that needs to take place quickly to get there. It is possible to get there, but we need to make sure we are doing this correctly.”
Fast becoming a huge part of ESG initiatives is fleet electrification where particular progress is being made in underground mines. While some countries are certainly more advanced than others here, Provencher noted that 40% of total emissions from the mining industry come from diesel trucks, making EVs a very attractive low-hanging fruit for companies to pursue.
There are, however, a number of challenges associated with bringing in electric vehicles which remains a barrier for introduction. One of the predominant reasons, is the limited range of EVs against diesel counterparts. To mitigate this, Provencher continued, data management is key and ensuring a strong grasp of real-time information coming in will show operators when machinery needs to be charged, allowing them to plan effectively for maximum efficiency on site.
Indeed, this is but a small advantage that digitalisation can bring to the mining industry as it grapples to meet ESG goals while achieving production targets. By getting a better grip of their data and using it to empower tools such as artificial intelligence, advanced analytics and machine learning, companies can achieve tangible benefits such as reduce downtime, enhance worker safety, cut operating costs and, of course, ensure compliance with environmental regulations and targets.
Through the course of the webinar, Provencher outlined this in more detail and explored AVEVA’s suite of cutting-edge software solutions, specifically designed to help mining companies make progress on their digitalisation journey and empower their operations.

Convergent, in association with African Review, has held a detailed webinar exploring the usage and effectiveness of lithium silicates and densifiers over traditional methods of concrete surface management which often struggle to meet the increasing challenges posed by concrete surface management.
Convergent experts including Mputu Schmidt, CEO of Convergent; Carlos Garcia, product manager end-user solutions, construction chemicals, Spain and Portugal for the RD Group; Matteo Mozzarelli, CEO of concrete Solutions Italia; and Jean-Claude Biard, global senior executive for the Convergent Group, presented across the session.
Together, they delved into the latest cost-effective application methods for long lasting finishing of concrete that can help reduce maintenance costs and avoid unexpected repair action. In addition, they examined the advancements in technologies that can sustain increased abrasion resistant stains and ensure gloss retention to the highest quality.
As part of the webinar, the representatives explored case studies including a case in DRC where a medical centre had been constructed with a low-quality concrete floor. The customer was considering completely replacing the floor but instead, Convergent put forward a special treatment with its 244+ Pentra-Sil lithium hardener, densifier and sealer. With this solution, Convergent can increase the hardness of a surface by up to 40% and therefore saved the customer significant recuperation costs over a complete replacement. Convergent were happy to report that the solution was perfect for the facility and the customer was pleased to avoid the extra construction work that would have been required for a complete replacement.
Watch the full webinar, including more information about Convergent’s innovative solutions.

Brazil Africa trade link launched
DP World has introduced a new integrated logistics corridor linking Brazil with Africa, aimed at improving trade connectivity between Latin America’s largest economy and rapidly expanding African markets
Named the Brazil-Africa Link, the new service was launched during Intermodal South America 2026 in São Paulo. It offers a fully integrated end-to-end logistics solution connecting export cargo from the Port of Santos to DP World’s operations in Angola and Mozambique, with additional support from its wider logistics network in South Africa.
Developed under a “one-stop shop” model, the corridor combines ocean freight services with inland logistics capabilities, allowing customers to manage their complete supply chain through one provider. The platform provides access to three port terminals, 52 warehouses and a fleet of more than 4,250 vehicles, helping improve efficiency, visibility and reliability across cargo movements.
The service is intended to support major Brazilian export industries such as animal proteins, agricultural commodities and consumer goods. It is designed to help exporters improve transit certainty, lower operational complexity and widen access to African markets.
Fabio Siccherino said, “This Brazil-Africa Link simplifies the journey for Brazilian exporters to a market with enormous growth potential. By integrating the entire logistics chain – from port of origin to final delivery – we reduce complexity, increase predictability, and enable our customers to unlock new business opportunities between Brazil and Africa.”
Mohammed Akoojee said: "The Brazil-Africa Link marks a transformative step in connecting Latin America's largest economy with high-growth markets across Africa. This integrated logistics corridor leverages our investments in port infrastructure, economic free zones, and digital technology across Angola, Mozambique, and South Africa to enable growth, create jobs, and deepen economic partnership between our continents."
Expanding integrated logistics in Brazil
DP World said it is continuing to strengthen its end-to-end logistics presence in Brazil through three strategic areas:
Ports and Terminals: The company operates one of Brazil’s leading multipurpose terminals at the Port of Santos, which serves as the foundation of its local operations and supports increasing container and bulk cargo volumes.
Freight Forwarding: DP World manages six freight forwarding offices across Brazil, providing multimodal transport services covering ocean, air and road freight, alongside warehousing, container freight station (CFS), insurance and customs clearance solutions.
Contract Logistics: The business is also expanding warehousing capacity through multi-client facilities in São Paulo and Espírito Santo, delivering integrated B2B services covering storage, distribution, reverse logistics and value-added solutions.
Strengthening Santos capacity
DP World is also investing further in capacity growth and operational capability at its Santos terminal, reinforcing its status as a strategic South American trade gateway. Following a record 2025, during which the terminal handled 1.3 million TEUs and 5 million tonnes of pulp, the company is advancing investments worth more than R$2 billion (approx. US$400 million).
These upgrades include quay expansion, new equipment, a new berthing pier and the development of a grains and fertilisers terminal in partnership with Rumo, with annual handling capacity of up to 12.5 million tonnes.
A further R$1.6 billion (approx. US$320 million) investment is expected to lift container handling capacity to 1.7 million TEUs by 2026 and 2.1 million TEUs by 2028.
DP World said these investments reinforce the infrastructure supporting the Brazil-Africa Link, connecting expanded Santos port operations with its African logistics network to create more resilient and dependable trade corridors between Brazil and fast-growing African markets.

Trade finance to unlock business in Angola
The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has launched a new trade finance guarantee scheme to support Angolan businesses in association with local banks
The facility is provided to Banco de Fomento Angola (BFA) under the Global Trade Finance Program (GTFP), an initiative of the IFC, the World Bank’s private finance arm.
It is open to firms including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to secure the inputs they need, deliver to customers on time and sustain and create jobs across key value chains.
By de‑risking trade transactions and improving the reliability and speed of cross‑border payments, the facility will strengthen supply chains, support more diversified growth, and deepen Angola’s integration into regional and global markets, the IFC said in a statement.
“Trade finance keeps businesses going,” said Makhtar Diop, IFC's managing director.
“Working with BFA, we’re helping Angolan firms access vital imports, trade more smoothly across borders, and create jobs, strengthening supply chains and the wider economy.”
Trade finance remains a “binding constraint” for many African firms, the IFC noted.
The continent faces an estimated trade finance gap of roughly US$100bn to US$120bn annually, with SMEs disproportionately affected, despite representing over 90% of businesses and accounting for about 80% of employment in Africa.
The new trade finance facilityis expected to unlock trade, boost businesses and support jobs in Angola, where access to foreign exchange and limited correspondent banking relationships have complicated cross-border payments, making it harder for firms to source inputs and fulfil orders.
These constraints impact sectors like food and agriculture, where Angola imports a substantial share of its consumption needs and firms require steady access to inputs; recent assessments indicate Angola imports over half of its food, underscoring the importance of reliable trade finance to keep supply chains flowing.
Through the Global Trade Finance Programme, IFC’s guarantees will back BFA’s issuance of trade instruments, such as letters of credit, trade‑related promissory notes and bills of exchange, and standby instruments including bid and performance bonds and advance payment guarantees.
By de‑risking cross‑border transactions, the facility is designed to help BFA grow its trade portfolio, broaden its network of counterparties, and expand access to trade finance for Angolan firms across sectors, including agribusiness, manufacturing and essential goods.
The goal is to strengthen Angola’s integration into regional and global value chains while relieving pressure points that often hinder SMEs from scaling and creating jobs.
“We are confident this partnership will have a positive impact not only on communities but also on the Angolan economy,” said Luís Roberto Gonçalves, BFA’s CEO.
It means BFA will have more instruments at its disposal to finance SME enterprises in productive sectors of the economy, boosting food production and distribution, enhancing food security and creating jobs.
“This partnership reaffirms BFA’s commitment to scaling solutions that advance the development of Angola’s financial system and reinforce the trust our clients and partners place in us.”
It also aligns with the World Bank’s strategy to grow access to finance in Angola's private sector as a means of unlocking economic growth.
Reliable trade finance will ensure access to fertiliser and seeds for farmers, packaging and raw materials for manufacturers, and spare parts and equipment for service providers.

Terra Industries expands in Ghana with Pax-2 drone factory. (Image source: Terra Industries)
Terra Industries, a company focused on autonomous security systems designed to protect Africa and its critical infrastructure, has announced the construction of Pax-2, its second manufacturing facility
The new 34,000-square-foot drone production site in Accra will become Terra Industries’ main regional defense manufacturing hub for drone and counter-drone systems.
The announcement comes after the company secured US$34mn in funding to expand manufacturing capacity, speed up deployments, and strengthen engineering teams in Nigeria and allied African nations.
Pax-2 will be Terra’s second Pax Factory, following the 15,000-square-foot Pax-1 flagship site in Abuja. Once fully operational, Pax-2 is expected to become the largest drone factory in Africa, exceeding the scale of Pax-1. By 2028, the facility is projected to reach annual production capacity of 50,000 units across Terra’s aerial systems portfolio.
The Ghana operation is expected to create 120 engineering jobs and run on a continuous production schedule to meet increasing regional demand. Systems to be manufactured there include the Archer VTOL, a long-range surveillance and strike platform; the Iroko UAV, built for rapid tactical deployment; and Terra’s latest platform, Kama, a high-speed interceptor drone developed for counter-drone defense.
Kama is capable of speeds up to 300 km per hour and has been designed for large-scale production to meet growing demand for kinetic interception capabilities.
The expansion into Ghana supports Terra’s broader objective of developing Africa’s sovereign defense-industrial base. It also comes at a time when conflict dynamics are shifting across the Sahel and sub-Saharan Africa, where non-state actors are increasingly using modified commercial and fibre-optic drones as attack systems. Similar tactics seen in recent conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe are driving demand for integrated defense solutions combining surveillance, electronic warfare and kinetic response.
“ The only way Africa can have lasting peace is by uniting to build sovereign defense, not by relying on foreign security architecture. We need to control our own destiny by building the tools and systems needed to protect ourselves. That's how this continent defeats terrorism. This is the beginning of that vision playing out more concretely, and we chose Ghana for Pax-2 because of its talent, strategic position, and political will to become a serious defense exporter and prove that this can be done at scale,” commented Nathan Nwachuku, co-founder and CEO of Terra Industries.
Construction of Pax-2 is currently in its final phase, with the facility expected to become fully operational by the end of June 2026.
Terra Industries said the Pax Factories network is central to its long-term Pax Africana vision, centred on achieving lasting peace through African security sovereignty and a future where the continent builds, deploys and controls its own defense technologies.
