Real-World Proof That Mining and Farming Can Work Together – Sovereign Metals – Kasiya Rehabilitation Trial

Can land be mined and then farmed again? The community of Kasiya, Malawi, is living proof.

In 2024, Sovereign Metals undertook a landmark rehabilitation trial at the Kasiya Rutile Project — demonstrating that responsible resource extraction and agriculture are not mutually exclusive. With full approvals from the Government of Malawi and oversight from the Ministry of Mines, the Malawi Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Water Affairs, the trial showed how mined land can be restored to productive farmland — often producing better yields than before.

Airtel Africa Announces Successful Data and Messaging Testing of Starlink Mobile in Kenya

Airtel Africa and SpaceX are pleased to announce the successful testing of data and messaging services with Starlink Mobile in Kenya, in a significant step towards bringing satellite-to-mobile connectivity to millions of people across Airtel Africa’s 14 markets.

The testing was done in “no connectivity” areas – locations where terrestrial mobile networks did not have a signal. In these areas, Starlink Mobile was seamlessly activated, allowing 4G compatible smartphones access to Starlink’s constellation of 650 launched satellites to keep them connected.

PROFLIGHT ZAMBIA’S CASHLESS TRANSITION ENHANCES EFFICIENCY, SECURITY, AND PASSENGER CONVENIENCE

As Zambia advances towards a modern, digitally enabled economy, businesses across key sectors are rethinking how they deliver services, improve efficiency, and build trust with consumers. In aviation—where safety, precision, and time are paramount—digital transformation is no longer optional; it is essential.

’s rollout of cashless payments, introduced in November 2025, represents more than a service upgrade. It reflects a deliberate move towards safer, faster, and more efficient transactions, while supporting Zambia’s broader transition to a cashless economy.

For Proflight Zambia, the engagement events held in Lusaka and in the Copperbelt were an opportunity to reaffirm the airline’s long-standing relationship with the travel partners who play a crucial role in connecting travellers to destinations across Zambia and the region.

WHY GLOBAL COMPANIES ARE PARTNERING WITH MALAWI’S MINING SECTOR

Malawi is increasingly attracting attention from international industries looking for the reliable supply of critical minerals. One example is the Kasiya Rutile and Graphite Project, which has drawn interest from global mining companies, lenders and commodity traders.

While this growing international interest is positive for Malawi, it has also raised questions about how large capital intensive mining projects are developed and what partnerships such as offtake or marketing agreements actually mean.
