Speakers

Welcome to the MADINI E-Convention 2021 happening on 19th-20th August 2021. The Convention is an afro-centric gathering and derives its name from 'madini’, which is Kiswahili for minerals. The 2021 Convention is inspired by the need to demystify African participation in the continent’s rich mineral sector. Join the conversation as we collectively forge a path to transforming minerals from a curse into a blessing for Africa.
