Ownership & Editorial Standards

Who owns Africa Development News

Africa Development News is published by Firmoby Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17257245). Firmoby Ltd is owned by Davison Simango, its Chairman and CEO.

Our connection to Zotus City

Firmoby Ltd also holds the intellectual property of Zotus City Development Group, the developer of the Zotus City Special Economic Zone in Ghanzi District, Botswana. Davison Simango owns both companies.

Because of this connection, every article we publish about Zotus City carries a disclosure note. We report on Zotus City only when there is a genuine development, such as a government decision, financing or construction milestone, and we hold that coverage to the same standards of accuracy and sourcing as everything else we publish.

Our editorial standards

  • We aim to report accurately and attribute information to its source.
  • We distinguish clearly between news, analysis and opinion.
  • Paid or sponsored content, if we publish any, is labelled as such.
  • We correct errors promptly and note the correction on the article.
