Geoex MCG Named Official Geosciences Partner of Venezuela Energy Week 2026 in Landmark Subsurface Collaboration

Source: APO

Venezuela Energy Week 2026 has appointed Geoex MCG as its Official Geosciences Partner, in a move designed to strengthen the technical foundation of discussions around the country’s vast hydrocarbon basins as upstream activity and international engagement continue to evolve.

Geoex MCG holds a unique position in Venezuela’s upstream sector as the sole provider of offshore seismic data and the only company operating under a multi-client agreement with the Ministry of Hydrocarbons. Its newly reprocessed offshore datasets are currently available for licensing, with plans underway for new data acquisition from 2026 onward to further support exploration and development activities.

The partnership brings a leading subsurface geoscience and geophysical solutions provider into the core of the event’s technical program at a time when Venezuela is seeking to reframe its upstream narrative around data quality, geological certainty and investable resource definition.

“This partnership underscores the growing role of subsurface science in shaping investment decisions and operational strategy across Venezuela’s upstream sector,” said James Chester, CEO of Energy Capital & Power. “It brings greater geological and geophysical rigor at a pivotal moment for the industry, helping bridge the gap between resource potential and subsurface certainty.”

Geoex MCG’s participation is expected to enhance technical discussions on Venezuela’s basin evolution, seismic imaging quality, prospectivity assessment and development of offshore fields. With their newly reprocessed data, exploration in the underexplored frontier areas of the offshore can now be evaluated, as well as improved imaging of existing fields, namely Perla, Rio Caribe/Mejillones/Patao/Dragon and Loran/Cocuina.  

“Venezuela represents a highly significant subsurface province, where geological potential is well established but increasingly dependent on modern, high-quality data to unlock value,” said Robert Sorley, President, Geoex MCG LLC. “Supported by our exclusive multi-client agreement with the Ministry of Hydrocarbons, a growing portfolio of datasets reprocessed in partnership with DUG Technology, and plans for new acquisition, our focus is to enable international explorers to evaluate offshore opportunities with confidence. We are pleased to support Venezuela Energy Week 2026 by strengthening the technical dialogue and bringing greater subsurface clarity to investment and development discussions.”

Geoex MCG specializes in the design and delivery of geoscientific surveys, subsurface data acquisition, seismic reprocessing and project management services, supporting exploration and development activities across oil and gas, CCUS, natural hydrogen and other energy sectors. Through its asset-light business model, the company works with selected contractors to deliver tailored subsurface solutions aligned with clients’ technical and commercial objectives.

As Venezuela seeks to attract renewed international investment, Venezuela Energy Week is positioning itself as a leading technical and commercial platform where geology, data and capital converge, supporting dialogue on investment frameworks, upstream development and the long-term future of one of the world’s largest hydrocarbon resource bases.

Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) Backs US$7 Billion Dangote Fertiliser Expansion to Strengthen Africa’s Food Security

Source: APO

Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) (www.AfricaFC.org), the continent’s infrastructure solutions provider, is helping drive a US$7 billion fertiliser expansion programme by Dangote Group designed to triple production capacity in Nigeria and establish a major new manufacturing platform in Ethiopia.

As a cornerstone commitment to the programme, AFC is providing a US$600 million facility to Greenview Fertiliser Corp. (Greenview), Dangote’s fertiliser holding company. The transaction deepens AFC’s longstanding partnership with Dangote Group across some of Africa’s most consequential industrial projects. AFC was Co-Coordinating Bank on a US$3 billion syndicated loan for Dangote Refinery and recently received full repayment of its foundational US$300 million senior term loan to Dangote Industries Limited, which helped advance the refinery from concept to reality. The redeployment at double this amount into Dangote Group underscores AFC’s model of providing early-stage risk capital before recycling into the next generation of transformative projects once assets reach stable, cash-generative operations.

The fertiliser investment positions Africa to get ahead of structural trends shaping long-term development priorities, including rapid population growth, rising food demand, climate-related pressures on agricultural systems and the need to capture greater value from natural resources. Recent disruptions to global supply chains and commodity markets have further underscored the risks associated with dependence on imported agricultural inputs. Despite holding some of the world’s largest natural gas reserves and a quarter of its uncultivated arable land, Africa remains reliant on imported fertilizer, making expanded production critical to food security and agricultural resilience.

Dangote’s expansion programme is projected to increase urea fertiliser production capacity in Nigeria from 3 million metric tonnes per annum (“MTPA”) to 9 MTPA, while adding a new 3 MTPA urea fertiliser plant in Ethiopia. It is expected to strengthen regional food security, support agricultural productivity, reduce dependence on imported fertilizer and bolster the continent’s position as a supplier to international markets.

Commenting on the transaction, Aliko Dangote, President and Chief Executive of Dangote Industries Limited, said: “This investment marks another important milestone in our long-standing partnership with AFC as we embark on the next phase of Dangote Fertilizer’s growth. Expanding our fertiliser production capacity in Nigeria and developing a new plant in Ethiopia will strengthen Africa’s food security, support agricultural productivity, and deepen the continent’s industrial base. AFC has consistently supported Dangote Group at critical stages of our growth, and its renewed commitment reflects confidence in our vision to build globally competitive African industrial platforms”.

Samaila Zubairu, President & CEO of AFC, said: “The question before Africa is simple: how will we feed 2.5 billion people by 2050? Africa’s 1.5 billion people consume just 6 million tonnes of urea annually, compared to 40 million tonnes in India and 50 million tonnes in China, despite having similar-sized populations. Closing this productivity gap is essential to Africa’s food security. By supporting the development of the world’s largest fertiliser platform, AFC is helping build the foundation for Africa to feed itself, create productive jobs and strengthen our economic sovereignty. This is not just an investment in fertilizer production. It is evidence of the Africa we are building.”

AFC has played a catalytic role across multiple phases of Dangote Group’s industrial growth, partnering with Access Bank in 2024 to provide Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE’s first working capital facility, supporting crude procurement for commissioning and initial production.

The latest financing reflects AFC’s focus on investments that strengthen the systems underpinning long-term economic growth, including energy, transport, logistics, industrial processing and food security. Alongside investments in strategic transport corridors, ports, power generation and industrial platforms, AFC continues to support projects that increase Africa’s capacity to produce, process and distribute critical goods domestically while expanding exports to regional and international markets.

Trio in court over RAF payout

Trio in court over RAF payout

Three suspects are due to appear in the KuGompo Magistrate’s Court in the Eastern Cape on charges of kidnapping, armed robbery and housebreaking.

Aged between 28 and 41, the trio were arrested on Saturday, following a significant breakthrough by the KuGompo Hawks’ Serious Organised Crime investigation, working in collaboration with Provincial Crime Intelligence, in the fight against organised violent crime. 

They were nabbed in connection with the kidnapping, armed robbery and housebreaking incident that occurred in Phakamisa, Qonce where a kidnapped victim was rescued after allegedly targeted after he had received a Road Accident Fund (RAF) payout.

It is alleged that on 12 June 2026, a group of heavily armed suspects forcefully entered the victim’s residence in Phakamisa after breaking down access points to the property. 

The suspects allegedly abducted the victim, seized his bank card and transported him to an undisclosed location where he was unlawfully detained.

While holding the victim captive, the suspects allegedly used the victim’s bank card to access and spend funds from his account. 

A case was subsequently opened, and an investigation commenced. Upon receiving information regarding the incident, law enforcement agencies launched a manhunt.

The intelligence-led operation led the team to Hemingway’s Mall in KuGompo City, where the suspects were allegedly observed conducting transactions using the victim’s bank card. Preliminary investigations revealed that purchases amounting to approximately R21 650 had been made at various retail outlets.

The suspects were intercepted as they exited one of the stores and the victim’s bank card was recovered along with clothing believed to have been purchased using funds unlawfully obtained from the victim’s account.

The victim, who was found unharmed, was subsequently reunited with his family.

Investigations are ongoing and authorities are exploring the possibility of further arrests as efforts to dismantle the broader criminal network continue.

The Provincial Head of the Hawks in the Eastern Cape, Major General Mboiki Obed Ngwenya, commended the operational members for their swift intervention. 

“This successful operation demonstrates the value of intelligence-driven policing and effective collaboration among law enforcement agencies. We remain resolute in our efforts to combat violent crime and ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice,” said Major General Ngwenya. – SAnews.gov.za

S&P Global Ratings assigns Afreximbank ‘BBB+/A-2’ investment grade rating

Source: APO


.

S&P Global Ratings has assigned African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) (www.Afreximbank.com) a ‘BBB+’ long-term issuer credit rating and an ‘A-2’ short-term issuer credit rating, with a Stable Outlook, reinforcing the Bank’s strong financial standing and its critical role in driving trade, industrialisation and economic development across Africa and the wider Global Africa community.

According to S&P, the rating reflects Afreximbank’s growing strategic importance, robust enterprise risk profile and expanding role as a countercyclical institution supporting African economies through periods of global and regional uncertainty.

The ratings agency highlighted the Bank’s strong policy relevance and shareholder support, underscoring its critical role in advancing intra-African trade, supporting implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), and developing transformative platforms and solutions that strengthen regional integration and economic resilience.

S&P noted that Afreximbank’s strong track record of delivering on its mandate underscores its strategic importance. “Afreximbank’s policy relevance has improved in recent years, as demonstrated by significant lending growth and shareholder support through a growing capital base supported by capital injections. Between 2015 and 2025, total assets expanded to $42.3 billion from $7.1 billion, supported by shareholders’ equity increasing to $8.4 billion from $1.3 billion.”

Commenting on the rating, Dr. George Elombi, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Afreximbank, said:

“This rating is a strong endorsement of Afreximbank’s financial strength, stability, and international credibility, and a clear affirmation of its strategic importance to — and impact across — Global Africa. It reflects the Bank’s solid capital base, strong liquidity, the quality of its assets, and, in particular, the unwavering belief in the institution by African states and authorities. The events of recent years, and the last two years in particular, underscore a central lesson: much as the struggle for independence, the pursuit of Africa’s economic change will not be handed to us. It demands a deliberate, bold, courageous and decisive action by the continent itself, working with its diaspora.”

S&P Global Ratings also referenced Afreximbank’s role in responding to major external shocks affecting African economies. These include the Bank’s support during the global financial crisis, the commodity price downturn, the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and other periods of heightened global uncertainty. Backing this trend the Bank recently announced a US$10 billion Gulf Crisis Response Programme (GCRP) to shield African and Caribbean economies from Middle East Conflict shocks.

Afreximbank has continued to strengthen the systems required to support African trade and investment, including the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System, the Africa Trade Gateway, the AfCFTA Adjustment Fund, trade finance facilities, project finance, institutional support and advisory services.

The Stable Outlook reflects S&P Global Ratings’ view of Afreximbank’s strengthened role as a countercyclical lender in Africa, ongoing shareholder support and consecutive capital increases.

Afreximbank remains focused on delivering its mandate to transform the structure of African trade by supporting industrialisation, expanding intra-African trade, strengthening regional value chains and increasing Africa’s participation in global trade.

President Ramaphosa to address Youth Day commemoration 

President Cyril Ramaphosa will lead the National Youth Day Commemoration which will be held at the FNB Premium Parking precinct in Gauteng on Tuesday, 16 June, 2026.

“This year’s National Youth Day marks the 50th Anniversary of the 1976 Youth Uprising, one of the defining moments in South Africa’s liberation struggle and democratic journey. The commemoration honours the courage, resilience and sacrifices of the young people who stood up against injustice and helped shape the future of a free and democratic South Africa,” the Presidency said on Monday. 

The President will deliver the keynote address at the precinct that is adjacent to the FNB Stadium in Nasrec, Johannesburg.

The commemoration forms part of a year-long national programme launched by the Minister in the Presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities, Sindisiwe Chikunga, in May 2026 to reflect on the legacy of the youth of 1976 and advance a national dialogue on the challenges and opportunities facing young people today.

READ | 2026 declared “Year of action” for South African youth

This year’s National Youth Day Commemoration is held under the theme: “RESET @50 – Our National Commitment to the Future for Freedom Lives in Every Generation.”

“As South Africa reflects on the significance of the events of 16 June 1976, the 50th anniversary provides an opportunity not only to honour the sacrifices of the youth who confronted an unjust system, but also to reaffirm the country’s commitment to building a future in which young people are empowered to realise their full potential,” said the Presidency.

The event will bring together youth formations, students, veterans of the liberation struggle, government leaders, civil society organisations, business representatives, development partners and communities from across the country.

Additionally, the President’s address will reflect on the significance of the 1976 Youth Uprising, the progress made over the past five decades, and the collective responsibility of all sectors of society to create opportunities for young people and accelerate their meaningful participation in the social, economic and political life of the nation.

“The commemoration will also serve as a platform to reaffirm government’s commitment to addressing the challenges confronting young people, including unemployment, poverty, inequality, access to education and skills development, mental health challenges, gender-based violence and social exclusion,” said the Presidency.

Part one of Tuesday’s proceedings will include a wreath laying ceremony at the Hector Pieterson Memorial site followed by the unveiling of the commemorative coin project. –SAnews.gov.za

Committee welcomes decision to suspend Gauteng Traffic Police Chief Inspector

Committee welcomes decision to suspend Gauteng Traffic Police Chief Inspector

The Gauteng Provincial Legislature’s Portfolio Committee on Community Safety has welcomed the decision by the Office of the Premier to place the Gauteng Traffic Police Chief Inspector, Samuel Mashaba, on suspension pending the outcome of a formal disciplinary process.

The decision followed the Chief Inspector’s testimony before the Madlanga Commission, during which admissions were made on conduct that may constitute serious acts of misconduct.

In a statement on Monday, the committee said it views the suspension as an important demonstration of government’s commitment to accountability, ethical leadership and the rule of law.

“The committee wishes to emphasise that the suspension of the Gauteng Traffic Police Chief Inspector is a precautionary administrative measure and should not be interpreted as a finding of guilt. South Africa’s constitutional democracy is founded on the principle that every individual is presumed innocent until proven guilty through due process.

“However, the committee is equally resolute in its view that no public official, regardless of rank or position, should be above the law. Those entrusted with enforcing the law are expected to uphold the highest standards of integrity, professionalism and ethical conduct.”

The committee said any conduct that undermines public trust in the institutions of state must be thoroughly investigated and where wrongdoing is established, met with appropriate consequences.

The committee added that it firmly believes that those found to have acted unlawfully or in contravention of the ethical standards expected of public servants must face the full might of the law and be held accountable for their actions. 

“Accountability is not only essential for justice to prevail but is also critical to restoring public confidence in the institutions responsible for safeguarding the people of Gauteng,” the committee said.

The committee further called for the disciplinary process to be conducted expeditiously, fairly and without fear, favour, or prejudice. 

“Delays in matters of public accountability serve only to erode confidence in governance and weaken the public’s trust in the administration of justice.

“The people of Gauteng deserve a law enforcement system characterised by integrity, professionalism and an unwavering commitment to serving the public interest. 

“The committee will continue to champion these principles as part of its broader efforts to promote safer communities and strengthen public institutions across the province.”  – SAnews.gov.za

S&P Global Ratings attribue la note d’investissement « BBB+/A-2 » à Afreximbank

Source: Africa Press Organisation – French


L’agence de notation S&P Global Ratings a attribué à la Banque Africaine d’Import-Export (Afreximbank) (www.Afreximbank.com) la note de crédit émetteur à long terme « BBB+ » et la note de crédit émetteur à court terme « A-2 », assorties d’une perspective stable. Cette notation renforce la solide position financière de la Banque ainsi que son rôle crucial dans la promotion du commerce, de l’industrialisation et du développement économique à travers l’Afrique et l’ensemble de la communauté de l’Afrique Globale (Global Africa).

Selon S&P, cette note reflète l’importance stratégique croissante d’Afreximbank, la solidité de son profil de risque d’entreprise et son rôle grandissant en tant qu’institution contracyclique soutenant les économies africaines durant les périodes d’incertitude mondiale et régionale.

L’agence de notation a souligné la forte pertinence politique de la Banque, le soutien solide de ses actionnaires, soulignant le rôle essentiel d’Afreximbank dans la promotion du commerce intra-africain, le soutien à la mise en œuvre de la Zone de libre-échange continentale africaine (ZLECAf), et le développement de plateformes et de solutions de transformation qui renforcent l’intégration régionale et la résilience économique.

S&P a également souligné que les excellents résultats obtenus par Afreximbank dans l’exécution de son mandat témoignent de son importance stratégique. « La pertinence d’Afreximbank en matière de politiques économiques s’est renforcée ces dernières années, comme en témoignent la forte croissance de ses activités de prêt et le soutien de ses actionnaires, grâce à une base de capital croissante soutenue par des injections de capitaux. Entre 2015 et 2025, le total de ses actifs est passé de 7,1 milliards de dollars à 42,3 milliards de dollars, tandis que ses capitaux propres ont progressé de 1,3 milliard de dollars à 8,4 milliards de dollars. »

S’agissant de cette notation, le Dr George Elombi, Président d’Afreximbank et Président du Conseil d’administration de la Banque a déclaré :

« Cette notation témoigne de la solidité financière, de la stabilité et de la crédibilité internationale d’Afreximbank, et confirme son importance stratégique et son impact à travers toute l’Afrique. Elle reflète la solidité de ses fonds propres, sa forte liquidité, la qualité de ses actifs et, surtout, la confiance indéfectible que lui accordent les États et les autorités africaines. Les événements de ces dernières années, et plus particulièrement des deux dernières, soulignent une leçon fondamentale : tout comme la lutte pour l’indépendance, la transformation économique de l’Afrique ne nous sera pas offerte sur un plateau. Elle exige une action délibérée, audacieuse, courageuse et décisive du continent lui-même, en collaboration avec sa diaspora ».

S&P Global Ratings a également fait référence au rôle d’Afreximbank dans la réponse aux grands chocs externes affectant les économies africaines. Il s’agit notamment du soutien de la Banque pendant la crise financière mondiale, de la baisse des prix des matières premières, de la pandémie de COVID-19, du conflit russo-ukrainien et d’autres périodes d’incertitude mondiale accrue. S’inscrivant dans cette tendance, la Banque a récemment annoncé un programme d’intervention face à la crise du Golfe (GCRP) doté de 10 milliards de dollars US, visant à protéger les économies africaines et caribéennes des chocs liés au conflit au Moyen-Orient.

Afreximbank a poursuivi le renforcement des systèmes nécessaires au soutien du commerce et de l’investissement en Afrique, y compris le Système panafricain de paiement et de règlement (PAPSS), le portail Africa Trade Gateway, le Fonds d’ajustement de la ZLECAf, les facilités de financement du commerce, le financement de projets, le soutien institutionnel et les services de conseil.

La perspective stable reflète l’opinion de S&P Global Ratings concernant le rôle renforcé d’Afreximbank en tant que prêteur contracyclique en Afrique, le soutien continu de ses actionnaires et ses augmentations de capital consécutives.

Afreximbank reste concentrée sur la réalisation de son mandat visant à transformer la structure du commerce africain en soutenant l’industrialisation, en développant le commerce intra-africain, en renforçant les chaînes de valeur régionales et en augmentant la participation de l’Afrique au commerce mondial.

SAWS warns of windy, unsettled weather across parts of South Africa

The South African Weather Service (SAWS) has forecast that a cut-off low, associated with a surface high-pressure system, will bring windy, cooler and unsettled weather to parts of South Africa from Tuesday afternoon until Saturday.

“As the system moves eastwards, it is expected to spread these conditions to the Free State and the western half of the Eastern Cape. By Friday and Saturday, it may begin to affect the North West, Gauteng and neighbouring provinces,” the weather service said.

SAWS will continue to monitor the weather outlook closely and issue updates and warnings as necessary.

“Take extra care on the roads – strong winds may cause dangerous driving conditions,” the weather service warned.

Strong to fresh winds over the western interior may enhance the risk of veld fires.  –SAnews.gov.za
