OUR MISSION
We connect Southern Africa to the world, fostering strong ties for trade and collaboration among businesses and government.
The African Continent is emerging as the new frontier for growth and opportunity in all sectors, including infrastructure, energy, water resources, tourism, communications, and transport. A group of leading Zimbabwean business people came together in 2021 to form the Africa South Business Group (ASBG), which seeks to present this reality to the world on behalf of the private sector in Southern Africa.
ASBG was formed with the mission of advancing bilateral commercial and political relations between the States of southern Africa and the rest of the world. By leveraging its extensive network in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the ASBG provides unparalleled access to senior decision makers in business and government with the aim of deepening economic and business relationships.
