Our Clients
Sankofa Capital advises organisations operating at critical points of investment, expansion, and institutional change. Our clients engage us where discretion, judgement, and credibility are essential.
We work with:
International corporates entering African markets
African conglomerates expanding internationally
Development finance institutions and impact investors
Governments and sub-national entities undergoing strategic transitions
Our engagements are often complex and sensitive. As such, we prioritise confidentiality and long-term trust over visibility.
Our past and current work includes advisory support across a range of sectors and geographies, including:
Market entry and structuring advisory for a Southern Africa–wide renewable infrastructure rollout
Telecommunications investment structuring and cross-border expansion advisory
UK market strategy and brand repositioning advisory for African financial institutions
Capital market partnership and regulatory strategy support
These engagements reflect our focus on high-impact, well-structured initiatives rather than volume-based advisory work.
Selected Engagements
We operate within a strong ecosystem of institutional, commercial, and knowledge partners that enhance our advisory capability and regional reach.
Our partnerships include:
Prolet AI, a UK-based artificial intelligence firm supporting data structuring, predictive analytics, and decision automation within Africa-focused investment strategies
Botswana Investment and Trade Centre (BITC), where we support trade facilitation, investment structuring, and market access aligned with national development priorities
Financial Markets Indaba (FMI), a regional platform connecting capital, policy, and entrepreneurship, through which we participate in high-level forums and transaction support
The Southern African Times, our owned media platform, enabling thought leadership, visibility, and engagement with diaspora and institutional audiences
Chambers and sector platforms, including the South African Chamber of Commerce UK, African Business Chamber, and ACSIS, supporting UK–Africa economic corridors
These relationships reinforce our ability to operate effectively across public and private sector environments.

Our Partnerships
We work with a small number of clients at any given time to ensure focus, responsiveness, and depth of engagement. This allows us to remain closely involved in each mandate and to provide considered, timely advice in environments where complexity and sensitivity are common.
Our role is not transactional. We act as long-term advisors, facilitators, and strategic partners, supporting informed decision-making across Africa’s diverse and evolving markets. Clients engage us for judgement, discretion, and contextual understanding, particularly where regulatory, political, and commercial considerations intersect.
We work best with organisations that value trust, clarity, and long-term impact, and we structure our engagements to support durable outcomes rather than short-term gains
