Trade & Corridors: Logistics leaders are again pushing reforms to unlock African trade corridors, while Afreximbank and others keep urging intra-African trade and industrialisation to move value across borders. Energy & Transport Pressure: Oil prices climbed after Trump signalled less patience over Iran, keeping Strait of Hormuz disruption risk front and centre—fuel costs are already feeding into higher transport and logistics bills across the region. Rail & Logistics Moves: South Africa’s rail ecosystem keeps shifting toward private operators, with TRIM signing rail access agreements with 11 private operators. Aviation/Ports: ACSA named Charles Shilowa acting CEO from July 1 as leadership transitions continue, while Kribi Port showcased its industrial zone push to capture more value locally.
