We are proud that our team efforts are being recognised by the industry and extremely pleased for the investors and African entrepreneurs who have trusted our vision and strategy over the years. These awards are a great incentive for us to continue working hard, investing wisely and focusing on the financial performance of our portfolio companies while improving their governance and social processes – doing good for the businesses and people of Africa.”
