Africa must enter new era of adding value to metals and minerals on the continent

At last week’s the Investing in African Mining Indaba, African presenters spoke intently of adding value to metals and minerals on the continent. Roundly condemned was the approach of digging minerals out of the ground, putting them on a train and shipping them to richer countries for processing. 

With a third of the world’s critical minerals, all countries are now being urged to process what they dig out of the ground on the continent from which it is extracted. In this way, African wealth can be created and poverty, inequality and unemployment reduced. However, a leading African individual still needs to be found to champion this cause, achieve maximum unity on this at African Union level, and ensure that the new era is properly implemented for the benefit of the continent.
