Last update: 8 hours agoMining & Investment Climate: Mozambique’s amended mining law requiring a 15% free-carry state stake in all ventures, plus tighter rules on exporting unprocessed minerals, is already worrying investors, with the Chamber of Mines warning it could make the country less attractive unless Mozambique improves water, power and logistics.

Energy Security (Regional): South Africa’s Richards Bay LNG import push gained momentum as Zululand Energy Terminal opened contractor bidding, aiming to secure gas supply as Mozambique-linked pipeline volumes are expected to decline. Transport & Rail (Regional): Zimbabwe’s government says it will launch major greenfield railway projects and continue NRZ recapitalisation to ease logistics constraints. Agri-Industry Risk: Mozambique’s mining and processing push is echoed by broader regional pressure to localise value-add, while food systems remain exposed to climate shocks like El Niño.
