$13.7 billion

$22.2 billion
Though this list is dominated by South African companies, the top spots go elsewhere. Sliding in at number two is the Angolan oil giant Sonangol. It is practically a monopoly in the country, which is Africa’s third-biggest oil producer.

$58.7 billion
Winning the biggest business race by a wide margin is this Algerian oil & gas giant. Sonatrach keeps most of its focus on the country’s rich oil and gas fields, but has expanded to operations in other places. It also does work in other industries, such as the desalination of seawater and power generation. Sonatrach invests in or owns 18 major companies, including an airline.

Africa

Jambo la Muhimu:
Hii list inatuonyesha wazi kuwa kampuni zinazomilikiwa na serikali zikisimamiwa vizuri zinaweza kuleta faida na kukua. Katika list hii kampuni ya 1 na ya 2 zinamilikiwa na serikali lakini bado zinajiendesha kwa faida kubwa. Kampuni hizi yaani Sonangol na Sonatrach zinadhibiti rasilimali muhimu za gas na mafuta katika nchi ya Angola na Algeria.

Hivyo ni changamoto kwa viongozi wa nchi yetu na hasa wale wanaohusika na usimamizi wa rasilimali muhimu kama gas, mafuta na madini kuhakikisha mashirika kama TPDC, STAMICO, TANESCO n.k yanasimamiwa ipasavyo na kuleta manufaa kwa Wananchi wa Tanzania na hatimaye kukua na kutanua shughuli zake katika nchi nyingine duniani.
