CEF Group delegation to engage African and global energy stakeholders on energy security, investment and sustainable development

The Central Energy Fund (CEF) Group will participate in Africa Energy Week (AEW) 2026, taking place from 12–16 October 2026 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC).

The CEF Group delegation will be led by the Group Chairperson, Ms. Ayanda Noah accompanied by CEOs of CEF Group subsidiaries, non-executive directors, and senior executives. The delegation will use the platform to engage with government, industry leaders, investors, development finance institutions, technical experts, energy stakeholders, and the media on matters central to South Africa and the continent’s energy future.

CEF’s participation comes at an important period for the energy sector, as South Africa and the broader African continent seek to strengthen energy security, expand energy infrastructure, attract investment, support industrialisation, and ensure that energy resources contribute meaningfully to economic development and job creation.

CEF Group representatives will participate in a number of high-level panel discussions and sessions throughout the week, addressing issues across the energy value chain.

The detailed programme of CEF Group participation is as follows:

Members of the media will have an opportunity to engage one-on-one with CEF Group panellists and delegation members during Africa Energy Week.

These engagements will provide an opportunity for journalists to obtain perspectives directly from CEF Group leadership and executives on key developments across the energy sector, including the Group’s strategic priorities, investment programme, energy infrastructure portfolio, refining capacity, exploration and production, energy security and the broader role of CEF in supporting South Africa’s energy future.
