Wamkele Mene, Secretary-General, AfCFTA Secretariat to headline PMI Global Summit Series Cape Town
Industry heavyweights to explore how Africa can deliver M.O.R.E. together. H.E. Wamkele Mene, Secretary-General of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, will headline the PMI Global Summit Series Cape Town, taking place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) from 14–15 September 2026. Hosted by Project Management Institute (PMI) Sub-Saharan Africa, the Summit will convene leaders from government, development banks, technology, energy and infrastructure under the theme Africa Delivers M.O.R.E. Together. Mene's participation gives particular resonance to this year's theme. Few initiatives embody the idea of Africa delivering together more powerfully than AfCFTA. Its ambition to create a more integrated continental market has the potential to fundamentally reshape how African economies trade with one another. Africa’s integration will depend on how well we connect our markets, move goods and people, power our economies and make it easier to do business across borders. Behind all of this is the ability to deliver, having the right institutions, skills and project capability to turn continental ambition into real progress. These questions will sit at the heart of the Cape Town Summit. The programme will extend that conversation into some of the most consequential areas of Africa's development. Mteto Nyathi, Chair of Eskom, will bring his extensive leadership experience to a conversation on delivering energy access, while Olugbenga Agboola, Founder & CEO, Flutterwave, will contribute to discussions on the financial and digital systems required to unlock African trade. Infrastructure will feature prominently, with Willem Botha, Head of Projects at Zutari, among the leaders examining the projects required to build a more connected and increasingly borderless continent. As artificial intelligence reshapes industries and economies globally, Ziaad Suleman, CEO for South Africa and Botswana at Cassava Technologies, will lead a case-study conversation on Building Africa's Own AI Future, exploring the infrastructure, capability and ecosystems Africa will need not merely to consume AI technologies, but to participate meaningfully in building the next digital economy. The programme will also feature leading voices including Karin van Rooyen of PM.Ideas and Sabrina Walter, founder of Women For Change and one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People of 2026, alongside leaders and practitioners from across the continent who are driving meaningful change through projects and transformation.…
