Mining remains important business in Namibia. It has driven the country's economic development and has grown in importance, as illustrated here. The country might be small in economic terms, but it is certainly punching above its weight compared to other African countries endowed with more resources.

Uranium production grew by 17.1% in Jan 2026 and the expansion of new uranium production projects is likely to more than double production by 2030.

South Africa’s iron ore and chrome mining sector has benefited from the recent commodity price boom, strengthening export earnings and stimulating new investment. Yet beneath this growth lie challenges in beneficiation, electricity costs, and global competition that are shaping the outlook for chrome and ferrochrome production.

Without structural reform, particularly in energy pricing and industrial policy, the country will continue to export raw materials and lose out on valuable downstream beneficiation opportunities.

The recruitment and staffing industry continues to be affected by low economic growth and high unemployment. This has been compounded by a high skills mismatch and a slowdown in hiring since 2024. AI is expected to make several job types redundant while creating demand for new kinds of roles.

Local hiring has slowed and is expected to remain limited due to poor economic growth. Demand for temporary employment services and offshoring is likely to continue as companies reduce staff costs, and as local candidates seek remote offshore opportunities due to limited local job opportunities.
