African Business 2020 edition
A unique guide to business and investment in Africa. Global Africa Network is proud to launch this inaugural edition of African Business 2020 at a time of energetic planning for a prosperous future for the continent. The African Union’s Agenda 2063 is much more than a document about a hoped-for future, it contains concrete goals and deliverables. The Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA) and the development finance institution, the African Development Bank (AfDB) are already rolling out valuable projects that are changing the reality on the ground in vital areas of the African economy. Perhaps the most significant event of recent times is the signing by African leaders of the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement (AfCFTA) which will bring together all 55 member states of the African Union and cover a market of more than 1.2-billion people. African Business 2020 has articles on all of these recent trends, plus overviews of the key economic sectors and regional and country profiles. In 2019 Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed received the Nobel Peace Prize for peace-making efforts in his region. The economic dividends of peace are beginning to be felt. In 2020 South African President Cyril Ramaphosa assumed the mantle of AU Chairperson. He brings to the role considerable experience in conflict management, constitution-writing and seeking consensus.

higher efficiencies than any other on the market. Our turnaround<br />
time is less than 60 days, which is a market-beater.<br />
What gives Superfecta a<br />
competitive edge in the industry<br />
is investment in the latest systems<br />
and technologies. The company<br />
invested millions of rands in an<br />
integrated maintenance software<br />
called Archibus. Our maintenance<br />
system goes above and beyond<br />
the management of the maintenance process and asset control by<br />
recognising that these processes are just a small part of a full life cycle.<br />
The intellectual capability of the system enables us to ensure that our<br />
customers are well taken care of by indicating when the following<br />
maintenance schedules should take place. We also provide our clients<br />
with 24/7/365 support.<br />
Transformer oils undergo electrical<br />
stresses while the transformer is<br />
in operation. This, combined with<br />
the contamination caused by the<br />
chemical interactions with windings<br />
and other solid insulations, gradually<br />
render it ineffective. Regular purification is paramount. We periodically<br />
test for electrical and chemical properties to make sure that the oil is<br />
suitable for further use and provide the purification services needed to<br />
extend the life of your transformer oil. This can be done online or offline.<br />
Superfecta has played a significant role in the economic<br />
development of South Africa, not only through employment, but<br />
also through infrastructure development both in rural and urban<br />
areas. We pride ourselves on having installed electricity in over 500<br />
households in rural parts of South Africa. The company has not only<br />
done an outstanding job but raised the bar in successfully electrifying<br />
villages in the geographically challenging landscape of KwaZulu-Natal.<br />
With a professional team of mechanical technologists, Superfecta<br />
prides itself on the supply, installation and maintenance of mechanical<br />
work. Our services include, but are not limited to:<br />
• Supply and installation of heat exchangers tubes, boiler tubes,<br />
steam pipes and primary air heater<br />
