Top 250 African companies – African Business

The African Business magazine list of the 250 largest companies in Africa by market capitalisation is dominated by SA-listed companies.

They take up the first 14 places - with the Anglo-Australian mining group BHP Billiton in first place, at a listed value of just under the equivalent of R1 514 billion.

The Top 10 – which account for nearly half the market capitalisation of the whole 250 largest companies in Africa - are: BHP, SAB Miller (food and beverage), Naspers (media), Richemont (non-food consumer products), MTN Group (telecommunications), FirstRand (financial services), Standard Bank Group (financial services), Sasol (petrochemicals), Steinhoff International (non-food consumer products) and Anglo American (mining and metals).
