Power Generation is a major industry in Africa and rapidly on the rise, due to the huge shortages experienced. There is a direct correlation between economic growth and electricity supply. If sub-Saharan Africa is to fulfill its promise, it needs power—and lots of it. Only seven countries—Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Gabon, Ghana, Namibia, Senegal and South Africa—have electricity access rates exceeding 50 percent. The rest of the region has an average grid access rate of just 20 percent.
There is potential for about 400 gigawatts of gas-generated power, with Mozambique, Nigeria, and Tanzania alone representing 60 percent of the total capacity; about 350 gigawatts of hydro, with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) accounting for 50 percent; about 300 gigawatts of coal capacity, with Botswana, Mozambique, and South Africa representing 95 percent of this.

Result driven!, Client, Sasol Oil
Elaine is one of the most professional, reliable and honest recruiters I have met to date. When she recruited for my role at Sasol Oil, she made sure that all questions were answered, provided me sufficient information to prepare myself not only for the new role but also what challenges when leaving the employer at the time. She is an honest business person that really looked after the best interest of her candidates. Elaine has a great personality and she is easy to get along.
