African Financial Group

AFG was founded established in 2001 at the dawn of the first decade of African economic growth in the 'African Century". The initial focus was deal structuring and financing in the health sector. This was influenced by the founder Dr Gil Mahlati, a medical specialist (surgeon), and activist (having been part of the National Medical and Dental Assoc... iation, NAMDA, pre-1994). Dr Mahlati not only trained and worked in Africa, but also extended his reach globally through his liver transplant research work in Europe and Asia, and his work in the United Kingdom. AFG created an incubation platform for innovative concept development. This has resulted in investments and participation in listed health entities (Aspen, Cipla, and Netcare), private hospitals, and start-up innovations in clinical trials and diagnostic centres in South Africa and Nigeria. AFGs progressive organic growth was built on collective family effort and strength. Today it is positioned as a innovative finance facilitator with global strategic partners.Read More
