2017 Tutu Fellow Mimi Kalinda says that her company, Africa Communications Group, has been acquired by Marco. The sale to Marco, which purchased a 51% stake, happened in November 2021. Mimi is delighted with Marco’s investment in ACG, as it means the company she began can expand across other continents and make a bigger contribution to the growth of African economy.
She says ACG is the first African-owned, pan-African communications and strategic reputation management firm handling communication solutions for global clients across the entire continent. It is headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, with additional offices in Abidjan in Ivory Coast and Nairobi, Kenya. It also has long-standing partners in Kigali, Rwanda; Harare, Zimbabwe; and Lagos, Nigeria. There are also additional affiliated offices in 40+ additional countries across the African continent.
