🌏 Happy New Week! ✨

Africa holds around 30% of the world’s critical mineral reserves and Zimbabwe is emerging as a global leader in lithium. These minerals are powering the world’s clean energy transition, but the real question is are they powering opportunities for our people?

Our minerals should not only fuel global progress,they should transform African lives.

This week, let’s ask: Who truly benefits from Africa’s critical minerals?
