It’s a wrap from the 5th Annual Southern Africa Oil & Gas Conference.

Deputy Minister Mgcina addresses the media on the 2nd day of the Annual Southern Africa Oil & Gas Conference

As government, we are committed to helping accelerate the sector’s growth by advancing policy refinement, strengthening capabilities, and fostering strategic partnerships that will enable South Africa to fully realise its oil and gas potential.

Equally important is our shared understanding of the economic strategy that anchors South Africa’s oil and gas development - one that prioritises beneficiation and includes both established companies and emerging players across the value chain.

Today, as we start with Day 2, the focus shifts from defining readiness to operationalising it. This phase of the programme is about equipping stakeholders with the practical tools, frameworks, partnerships, and capacity-building strategies necessary to support meaningful and long-term participation in the sector.
