Sekunjalo boasts a wide range of strategic investments and partnerships, across all major sectors of industry: biotechnology, civil security and defence, energy and power, financial services and asset management, fishing and aquaculture, food and beverages, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, media, mineral resources, transport and mobility, and telecommunications.
Our investments are different to our private equity portfolio and publicly listed portfolio of investments. Our strategic investment partnerships and shareholdings range from 15 to 49%. These investments are in companies that are South African, African and global.
Through our investment partnerships and agreements, board representation, advisory services and solutions, we are able to provide our partners with a strong understanding of the African economy, and its growth opportunities. The Group seeks to influence investment direction and capital allocation of strategic partnerships on the African continent.
This approach has realised an exceptionally high investment return for Sekunjalo’s portfolios, and benefited many of our partners due to Africa’s high growth trajectory over the last decade. The strategic partnerships also help to influence the adoption of innovative and technological advances, best global practice, talent development, and business enterprise engagement with Sekunjalo’s wholly owned investments portfolio as well as the private equity portfolio.
Through these best practices, Sekunjalo has been able to ensure that companies in our investment portfolio are able to participate in global alliances and attract further opportunities for Africa’s economic development. Sekunjalo is a sought after partner for global multinationals operating on the African continent, and we continue to develop further strategic partnerships in areas of high growth on the African continent.
