The cooperation will create synergy effects from which future projects will benefit.
The two companies will jointly pursue and conduct business, governed by the standards of excellence set by the TÜV NORD GROUP.

Mr. Severino Chiwale, Managing Director of B Chiwale, stated, “This partnership marks a significant milestone for B Chiwale as we expand our service offering.

DMT looks forward to a successful collaboration with the overarching goal of establishing itself beyond South Africa in neighboring markets and enabling clients to create sustainable, long-term value. Mr. Sodhie Naicker, Managing Director of DMT Kai Batla, commented, “We are happy to partner with B Chiwale and enhance our presence in Angola. This collaboration aligns with our strategic goals and commitment to delivering excellence in every project we undertake.”
Jens-Peter Lux, Managing Director at DMT GROUP, highlights that Southern Africa is a region rich in raw materials, which harbors great potential, “Angola has the opportunity to develop its mining sector as well as processing capacities and far beyond. The goal must be to generate significant added economic value through the development of a flourishing downstream industry. Angola could not only focus on the extraction of raw materials, but, for example, also on battery production.”
Mr. Severino Chiwale and Mr. Sodhie Naicker formalized the agreement in a signing ceremony held at B Chiwale Prestação de Serviços headquarters in Luanda, Angola. This clears the way for the partnership to now focus on the acquisition and execution of projects specifically in sectors including exploration, mining, infrastructure, environmental management, and engineering.
