As mining and gas exploration expand across Africa, questions are intensifying over who truly benefits from these projects. Delegates at the Southern Africa Oil and Gas Conference in Cape Town say meaningful community involvement, particularly the inclusion of women and young people, is essential to ensuring sustainable development and minimising conflict in mining regions.


They warn that excluding local voices can lead to community resistance, project delays and long‑term instability. Stakeholders stress that equitable benefit‑sharing, transparent engagement and social investment must be prioritised if resource development is to support lasting economic growth.
