All over the World, all eyes are drawn to Africa's cement market which is grabbing headlines... Low cement demand has led to listed cement and lime producer Pretoria Portland Cement (PPC) developing a strategy to move into other "much more exciting markets" in sub-Saharan Africa. Paul Stuiver, the chief executive of PPC, said yesterday that these markets included Mozambique, Zambia, Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda, which had not yet reached the level of infrastructure development evident in South Africa. He said: "Huge demand is coming at some stage in the future when these countries develop their infrastructure. We are excited about them because they are higher growth areas than South Africa in the longer term." (Source: Business Report) |
