Tanzanian business tycoon Mohammed Dewji is expanding his MeTL Group’s activities into battery-related minerals, focusing on graphite mining, as demand for materials used in electric-vehicle batteries rises, according to Bloomberg and the Financial Post. The reporting says the move is tied to the broader global push to secure inputs for EV supply chains. The companies also note that MeTL’s expansion is paired with investments in luxury tourism, aimed at benefiting from Africa’s growing high-end travel market. The two outlets frame the development as part of Dewji’s broader strategy to position the group in sectors expected to grow, combining commodities linked to battery production with tourism demand. While the articles highlight the rationale for the investment and the areas of focus—graphite mining for battery minerals and luxury tourism for leisure spending—they do not provide detailed figures in the provided excerpts, such as investment size, project timelines, or regulatory approvals. The reporting therefore centers on the company’s stated direction rather than specific operational outcomes.
