Biography
I’m Eric Kasongo, a senior journalist and African emerging market researcher with a deep focus on the political and economic affairs of South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong specialization in mining, energy, engineering, agriculture, and innovation sectors that are not only vital to Africa’s development but also deeply intertwined with global market dynamics. My work is driven by a commitment to uncovering the forces shaping Africa’s industrial transformation. I’ve reported extensively on political instability and its impact on mining operations, the economic implications of resource nationalism, and the evolving role of ESG in extractive industries. I also explore energy transition, trade relations, corruption and governance, foreign direct investment, labor issues, and the disruptive potential of new technologies. As a researcher, I’m passionate about connecting macroeconomic trends with local realities. I’ve interviewed CEOs, policymakers, and entrepreneurs across the continent, and I strive to tell stories that reflect both strategic insight and human experience. Whether I’m analyzing regional geopolitics or tracking sustainability goals, my goal is to contribute to a deeper understanding of Africa’s place in the global economy. I’m open to editorial collaborations, expert commentary, and research-driven storytelling that elevate Africa’s growth narrative and spotlight the innovation shaping its future.
