This article analyses the production, circulation and consumption of cement along the West African coastal corridor, a 500-kilometre conurbation that stretches between Accra, Lomé, Cotonou and Lagos – the largest urban metropolis still in progress in Africa. By focusing on the ‘cement chain’, this research contributes to ongoing explorations of how urban phenomena are produced in Africa. As a binding material, cement is at the nexus of a range of issues at stake in contemporary African cities, such as urban policies, economic trends, dweller practices, environmental issues and capitalist accumulation. Based on empirical long-term fieldwork, the article adopts a ‘follow-the-thing’, multi-scale approach, retracing the itinerary of cement bags from the plant to the plot and observing all the actors involved in the cement chain, from major companies to bricklayers. Cement, the article concludes, epitomises the emerging ‘Made in Africa’ metropolitan condition, therefore including issues regarding the environment and sustainability in current debates on the growth of the cement city.

“…This phenomenon triggered the expansion of ABL and other alcohol manufacturing firms and the importation of liquor, beer and wine to meet the growing demand. In 1960, Guinness Ghana Limited was founded with its flagship brand Guinness extra stout widely sold in the country (Nyuur and Sobiesuo, 2016). However, it was not until recently that other indigenous firms such as Gihoc Distilleries and Kasapreko Company joined the fray to add value to the locally brewed gin, akpeteshi.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the relationship between brand positioning and business performance, as well as the mediation effect of brand equity between them within the context of Ghana’s alcoholic beverages industry. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 196 staff across four alcoholic beverage firms in Accra, Ghana was selected using a judgemental sampling technique. A structural equation modelling approach using partial least squares was used to conduct the analyses to answer the research hypotheses. Findings All the hypotheses were confirmed in line with extant literature. Specifically, the study found a positive relationship between brand positioning and business performance. The study also found that brand equity partially mediates the relationship between brand positioning and business performance. Practical implications The study serves as a useful guide to strategy and policy formulation in branding in general and specifically on how brand positioning can be effectively deployed as a key strategy to enhance business performance. Originality/value The study has practical implications not only for the marketing and sale of alcoholic beverages in Ghana to achieve financial performance but also for lasting competitive advantage.

“…The traditional beer is prepared by cooling the maize, converted to a liquid form, and strained to create a yellowishbrown beer known as 'chibuku.' (Figure 2) (Nyuur and Sobiesuo 2016). The beer production processes by the conventional and traditional breweries in Zambia lead to the generation of a large volume of wastewater due to the consumption of a large volume of freshwater of about 4 to 8 m 3 /m 3 of a produced beer as estimated from the literature (Kebede 2018) and an average consumption of 6 hl of freshwater for the production of 1hl beer (Enitan et al 2015).…”

Freshwater shortage and pollution-induced by human activities have become a global concern. Water resources pollution particularly by the brewing industries is a major concern due to production of large volume of wastewater resulting from large volume of water used in the production processes of beer. African countries consume much volume of water higher than the accepted international benchmark of 6.5 hectoliter water/hectoliter beer production. Observed about 60% of freshwater used in Zambian breweries in the brewing of beer and finishing operations. The industries are observed to generate large volume of wastewater and discharge it partially treated or untreated to the environment resulting to degradation of ecosystem and outbreak of cholera and typhoid. Zambia being a developing country is facing challenges in wastewater management. The treatment plants produce large volume of sludge and are overfilled due to poor maintenance and operation. The wastewater treatment facilities with conventional treatment systems are hydraulically overloaded with effluent quality of COD at an average of 817 mg/L, BOD 148 mg/L, turbidity 58.4NTU which were observed to be above the allowable limits for Zambia Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA) at 90mg/L, 50 mg/L, and 15 NTU respectively. The waste stabilization ponds (WSPs) effectively removed the BOD to an average of 32.5 mg/L within the set limits and a poor effluent quality of turbidity (86.3 NTU) and COD (143 mg/L) above the set limits. Therefore, further treatment of the effluent is to be proposed for the treatment of the high concentrated water effluent from the treatment plants. This review aims at stating the current situation of industrial (brewery industries) and domestic or municipal wastewater in Zambia, as well as its environmental impacts, methods for treatment and the solution to the provision of the required effluent quality for discharge to the environment without causing pollution to water sources and aquatic life.
