Jens-Peter Lux, Managing Director at DMT GROUP, highlights that Southern Africa is a region rich in raw materials, which harbors great potential, “Angola has the opportunity to develop its mining sector as well as processing capacities and far beyond. The goal must be to generate significant added economic value through the development of a flourishing downstream industry. Angola could not only focus on the extraction of raw materials, but, for example, also on battery production.”

Mr. Severino Chiwale and Mr. Sodhie Naicker formalized the agreement in a signing ceremony held at B Chiwale Prestação de Serviços headquarters in Luanda, Angola. This clears the way for the partnership to now focus on the acquisition and execution of projects specifically in sectors including exploration, mining, infrastructure, environmental management, and engineering.
