In 1919, a group of business people gave themselves a strange name: the Merchants of Peace. Their bet was that trading nations fight less. They had just watched Central Europe destroy itself, and they believed commerce could be a brake on war. A century later, with the Strait of Hormuz blocked and tariffs rising, that idea is being tested in real time. Sebastian Ferrari leads strategic initiatives at the International Chamber of Commerce, the world business organization representing an estimated 45 million companies across 170 countries. He argues the answer to fragile supply chains is not less trade but less concentration: more regional integration, especially across Africa and Latin America. We cover EUDR, TradeRoots Africa and AfCFTA, food as social stability, and whether trade can still keep the peace. Listen and share at samueletini.com.

I had a substantive conversation with Dr. Stephen Onyango Ouma, author of Africa Unbound: Decolonial Pathways to Sovereignty and Liberation (Brill, 2026). He explained that, despite achieving political independence, African countries still experience significant colonial and neo-colonial influences in their economies, education systems, cultures, and political structures. The book argues that genuine liberation must include economic independence, epistemic freedom, cultural reclamation, and Pan-African unity. Dr Ouma highlights the importance of revitalising indigenous knowledge systems, strengthening regional cooperation, and addressing dependencies that limit Africa's ability to determine its own path. We discussed topics ranging from the lasting mental effects of colonialism to the potential of the AfCFTA, the rise of youth activism, and the key role African women play in liberation movements. It was a thoughtful look at what decolonisation should mean today. For those interested in African philosophy, global politics, or contemporary decolonial thought, this book and the accompanying interview offer valuable insights. Amisah Bakuri (PhD) is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her work explores the intersections of religion, sexuality, gender, and migration, especially within African diasporic communities in the Netherlands. Learn more about your ad choices.

We examine the latest developments surrounding the African Continental Free Trade Area, or AfCFTA, which served as a focal point of the recent African Union Summit. The initiative continues its phased reduction of continental tariffs to bolster intra-African trade and industrialization. The development of strategic resource corridors to anchor critical mineral supply chains was also a cornerstone of the discussions. The U.S. officials sought to reassure participants that corridor investments would not be exploitative and would deliver tangible benefits to local communities. We also reflect on the Munich Security Conference, where we found that the global south was underrepresented. While traditional foreign aid was largely sidelined in favor of immediate security priorities, development finance emerged as a prominent topic of conversation. Throughout the summit, participants frequently championed the argument that strategic investment in development is a prerequisite for global security, rather than a byproduct of it. To discuss these stories, and others, Senior Reporter Adva Saldinger sits down with reporters Ayenat Mersie and Jesse Chase-Lubitz for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series.

Africa's competitiveness in 2026 hinges on making the AfCFTA real for small and mid‑sized businesses, not just the big corporates.

Episode 207 with Sabine Mensah, Deputy CEO of AfricaNenda Foundation and co author of the State of Inclusive Instant Payment Systems in Africa 2025 report, one of the most comprehensive studies on Africa's digital payments infrastructure.The SIIPS 2025 report reveals the extraordinary scale of Africa's instant payments transformation, with 64 billion real time payment transactions worth nearly 2 trillion dollars processed in 2024 alone. Sabine shares what this rapid growth means for Africa's digital economy and why instant payments are no longer a fintech niche, but a core driver of trade, productivity, and financial inclusion across the continent.Drawing on insights from 31 countries, we explore why Nigeria has emerged as Africa's first fully mature instant payment system, the governance and interoperability decisions behind NIBSS's success, and the critical lessons other African markets must learn to scale inclusive payment infrastructure.The conversation dives into how instant payments are reshaping cross border trade, remittances, and SME cash flow, why payment systems are foundational to AfCFTA success, and how real time payments unlock faster settlement, liquidity, and growth for African businesses. Sabine also explains why scale alone does not guarantee inclusion, highlighting the importance of trust, consumer protection, and system design in driving sustained adoption.What We Discuss With SabineWhy instant payments have become the backbone of Africa's digital economy and a prerequisite for trade, growth, and financial inclusionHow Nigeria became the first African country to achieve a fully mature instant payment system and what other markets can learn from its governance and interoperability modelThe role of real time payments in transforming cross border trade, remittances, and SME cash flow under AfCFTAWhy scale alone does not equal inclusion and how trust, consumer protection, and system design shape who benefits from digital paymentsInstant payments as digital public infrastructure and what policymakers, investors, and founders must do now to unlock Africa's next decade of economic growthDid you miss my previous episode where I discuss Unlocking Diaspora Wealth: How Housing Investment Is Driving African Development?

Trading Africa Forward: What AFCFTA Means After AGOA | Financial Forecast S07E10 by Capital FM

Africa After AGOA: Trade, Policy & The AfCFTA Test | Financial Forecast S07E09 by Capital FM

China-Africa trade in the first eight months of the year increased by 15% to more than $220 billion, on track to break another annual record. A significant portion of that growth, however, stemmed from a surge in Chinese exports to African countries, exacerbating an already substantial $60 billion African trade deficit with China. South Africa, by far, is China's most important trade partner on the continent, and it is attempting to close that gap by increasing its exports of agricultural products to China. The problem, however, is that it will take a lot more than selling fruits and vegetables to narrow the country's gaping trade deficit. In the meantime, local producers are facing growing pricing pressure from the surge of low-cost Chinese imports. Eric & Cobus discuss the difficult position that many African countries are facing in this new, more competitive trade landscape.

Visepresident Lucia Witbooi sê vir Namibië beteken die Afrika Kontinentale Vryehandelooreenkoms, of AfCFTA, meer as net die uitvoer van rumateriaal. Dit gaan oor waardetoevoeging, het Witbooi by die Intra-Afrika-handelskou in Algiers, Algerië gesê. Namibië was vroeër vanjaar een van eerste lande om die AfCFTA te benuttig toe 45 000 ton sout na Nigerië uitgevoer is.

Clement speaks to EWN’s Nokukhanya Mntambo from the 702 studio to unpack South Africa’s G20 Presidency and how it’s amplifying Africa’s voice on the global stage. From urgent discussions on food and energy security — with Deputy Minister Alvin Botes echoing President Ramaphosa’s warning on widening inequality — to the B20 Trade & Investment Task Force’s efforts to unlock Africa’s $3.4 trillion market, the continent is front and centre in shaping global policy. Tomorrow’s spotlight on the AfCFTA in Johannesburg is expected to highlight its potential to boost intra-African trade by 33% and lift 30 million people out of poverty. Meanwhile, the 6th G20 Health Working Group is addressing healthcare system strain and the need for radical reforms in the face of ageing populations, tighter budgets, and post-COVID realities. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

South Africa’s G20 Presidency is being seen as a critical opportunity to amplify Africa’s voice in shaping global priorities around equality, sustainable growth, and education. On CapeTalk, EWN journalist Nokukhanya Mntambo, who is following the summit closely, speaks to Lester Kiewit about the latest developments. She explains how food security has been front and centre, with Deputy Minister Alvin Botes echoing President Cyril Ramaphosa’s warning that rising costs, debt burdens, and trade tensions are widening inequality worldwide. Meanwhile, the #B20 South Africa Trade & Investment Task Force is focusing on restoring trust in international trade, unlocking Africa’s $3.4 trillion market potential, and aligning growth with climate goals. With the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) set to take the spotlight in Johannesburg tomorrow, projections suggest a 33% boost in intra-African trade and poverty reduction for 30 million people.

Die handelministerie, in samewerking met die VN se Ontwikkelingsprogram vir Namibië en die Namibië Handelsforum, bied 'n vyf dae lange kapasiteitsbou-werkswinkel in Swakopmund aan. Die werkswinkel is ontwerp vir lede van die Nasionale Implementeringskomitee en die private sektor om hul kapasiteit rakende die Afrika Kontinentale Vryhandelsooreenkoms, AfCFTA, te verbeter. Dit is die grootste vryhandelsgebied wêreldwyd volgens die aantal deelnemende lande, met 'n gesamentlike BBP van meer as 3,4 triljoen Amerikaanse dollar. Die geleentheid word môre amptelik by die Swakopmund Hotel geopen. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gesels met dr. Omu Kakujaha-Matundu van die departement ekonomie by Unam oor wat van die werkswinkel verwag kan word.

Oor 'n vraag oor hoeveel kleiner ondernemings in Namibië toegerus is vir kapasiteitsbou, sê hy:

As we reach the five-year mark since the introduction of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA), it has been considered necessary to examine the effectiveness of this landmark treaty. This discussion will focus on how the Nigerian economy can strategically position itself to maximise the benefits of the AfCFTA. Leaders of the NESG Trade, Investment and Competitiveness Policy Commission will discuss the imperatives of the Domestication of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement and other policy imperatives. Also, bringing a wealth of experience as the CEO of the Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE), Dr Muda Yusuf will provide his invaluable perspective as a key industry player. He will discuss Nigeria's progress since ratifying the agreement in November 2020, the significant challenges, and potential strategies to bolster intraregional trade. In addition, according to Article 28 of AfCFTA, the treaty is "subject to review every five (5) years after its entry into force..." Given current realities, the conversation will address whether or not the agreement should be reviewed and what such reviews should be.
