About Phuzumoya Consulting

Phuzumoya – pronounce it without the ‘h’ – is a Zulu word meaning ‘drink the wind’, or more figuratively, ‘embrace the Spirit’. The name embodies our approach to research – to take on and to embrace what we find rather than trying to make it fit preconceived notions. For over a decade, Phuzumoya Consulting has provided specialised political economy research and analysis to a wide range of private and public sector clients, mostly but not exclusively in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a particular focus on natural resource governance.
