The collaboration aims to accelerate industrialisation and economic transformation in southern Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A key component of the deal is a regional oil refinery and pipeline project that will originate from Namibia\u2019s port of Walvis Bay, traversing several SADC countries, including Zimbabwe. The project is designed to enhance regional energy security, reduce import dependency, and support industrial growth across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Emmerson Mnangagwa of Zimbabwe announced the agreement during a high-level meeting in Harare with Mr Dangote, emphasising that the partnership reflects strong investor confidence in the region. The Dangote Group\u2019s investment will focus on energy, cement, fertiliser, and infrastructure development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe pipeline through Walvis Bay will not only benefit Zimbabwe but also serve as a strategic energy corridor for southern Africa, supporting regional integration and economic growth,\u201d President Mnangagwa said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the fertiliser sector, the Dangote Group plans to invest in production and processing facilities to support agricultural development, food security, and regional competitiveness. Cement and infrastructure projects under the deal will aid the construction of roads, industrial facilities, and housing, boosting employment and economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aliko Dangote highlighted Namibia\u2019s strategic role in the project, noting that the country\u2019s Walvis Bay port provides an essential gateway for regional trade and energy distribution. He also commended Zimbabwe\u2019s leadership for creating a stable investment climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis partnership demonstrates the potential of regional collaboration. Namibia\u2019s infrastructure and strategic location are key to unlocking opportunities that benefit multiple economies in southern Africa,\u201d said Mr Dangote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agreement aligns with broader regional development goals and underscores the importance of Namibia as a hub for industrial and energy-related investments in southern Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: AriseNews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NAMIBIA will play a central role in a major regional investment initiative following a historic partnership between Zimbabwe and the Dangote Group, led by Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote.
