Listen "Private equity bounces back across Southern Africa."

Episode Synopsis

Southern Africa’s private equity industry is back on the front foot. After years of economic headwinds and fundraising slowdowns, new research from SAVCA shows dealmaking is gathering pace, portfolio companies are growing, and exits are finding momentum.

We’re joined by Graham Stokoe, EY Africa Private Capital Leader, who led the team behind the 2025 SAVCA Private Equity Industry Survey. We unpack what’s driving renewed optimism in the sector, why infrastructure, energy and IT are leading investment flows, and how private equity is shaping jobs and growth in the region. Kaya FM
