By creating a unified market, harmonising trade rules, and encouraging regional value chains, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is laying the framework to transform fragmented national automotive sectors into an integrated continental manufacturing hub.

Dr. Louisa Mojela, Founder and Group CEO of WIPHOLD, was honoured by African Leadership Magazine in London.
