Don't think it will take much to get this back to the 1.00p mark. The price has been artificially lowered IMHO and positive results and update should bring in the buyers. With the ongoing developments in South Africa, now seems like a good time to building a business there. The BOD appear to be very well connected and have done business in Africa over many years.

A few buys going through on NEX today: 15/02/2018 15:30 200,000 0.626 15/02/2018 15:20 100,000 0.6 15/02/2018 15:18 100,000 0.6 15/02/2018 10:38 400,000 0.58

Kenny, maybe this is what DL has been waiting for. It will be interesting to see if the fine words translate into positive developments for the people of south Africa and a crackdown on the endemic corruption in the country.

If the outlook from the interim report in July 2017 in anything to go by, there could well be some positives in the the year end report: Outlook "This business is starting to see some traction, as we come out of the dismal position the company had found itself in over the past few years and now the outlook for AAAP looks strong and exciting. We are pushing the underlying business to increase sales and improve efficiency. New bank funding arrangements are now being reviewed to enable the Company to increase raw ingredient stocks so that we can meet the increasing demand from our core customers. Importantly, the board is reviewing a number of new and exciting potential acquisitions to bolt on to our existing agri platform."

Moving up on very small buys. Results must be imminent.

Director Shareholding Percentage of the Company's Share Capital David Lenigas 22,388,060 10.82% - George Roach* 33,751,333 16.31% Andrew Monk 12,126,761 5.86% Rob Scott 1,693,078 0.82%

Well, on more than one occasions DL has talked about acquisitions, so I think that is firmly on the cards, and I also believe the results will be a significant improvement on the previous year. The say, follow the money and as the directors hold substantial stakes and some recently acquiring more shares, I remain positive about the prospects going forward. "Anglo African Agriculture plc (LSE: AAAP), the London Main board listed food manufacturing and trading company, announces that on 2 August 2017 Andrew Monk, a Non-Executive Director of the Company, purchased 10,126,761 ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the Company (the �Ordinary Shares�) at 0.725 pence per share. Following this transaction, Andrew Monk holds 12,126,761 Ordinary Shares, representing 5.86% of the Company�s total issued share capital."

Why hasn't our share price moved...lol

Yes, I was being facetious. I keep telling myself that DL had a plan in mind when he got involved with this company, and I am just hoping that AfriAg Global will come under the umbrella of AAAP and benefit from their main market listing. I hold shares in both companies and reckon the combined synergies would give a materially higher valuation than is currently attributable to the two companies individually. News due very soon.....hope it is worth the wait and anticipation.

Well....at last, Zuma has resigned. Much talk of a renaissance in South Africa now and a flood of new business money into the country. DL reckons SA is the bread basket to the world and companies such as AAAP and AfriAg could well benefit from the change.

Yes, the directors talked about complimentary acquisitions in the last report. As you say, we just need an improving set of results, a positive forward statement and further news of the mooted opportunities and we could be flying. Let's face it, the share price couldn't fall much lower.

Share price has moved up on zero trades. Results must be due very shortly.

Well Kenny, you know I am in complete agreement with you there, and if you listen to his interview from last year on the 'launch' of AAAP, I don't think you could find a better fit that AfriAg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HInAUjzEhn8

Just listened to the David Lenigas interview again from February last year. Looking at where we are now and the lack of any PR makes his interview quite comical. If the last year has seen 'a lot of focus' from him, I dread to think what would happen without it. We await the final results, and unless there is a marked upturn in the report and more communication with the owners of the business, I fear a lot of investors will be heading for the exit, me included. Come on David, this is not your little plaything, and do what you said you would do in the interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HInAUjzEhn8

Still waiting for the LGC Capital interview with Share Talk. Some clarity on the House of Hemp transaction might possibly stimulate some interest here. Who am I kidding, we need to be on another exchange and DL knows it, and what's more is that he has actually acknowledged it. Come back Kenny, all is forgiven. We need to keep the BB alive.

draft - you are clearly a disgruntled long term holder, with good cause IMHO. However, I don't see the deal with SecurLinx the same way you do. For a start, once the loan to SecurLinx is converted, I make it that shareholders here will own circa 13% of the new company. Depending on the success of the Oyster listing, any return over �600k will see an increase in our shareholding. Given that Polemos will have a 20% discount if they chose to convert the Oyster loan into shares, I believe there is a good chance of this happening. I have been impressed by some of the deals that Hamish has recently done in the various businesses he is involved with, and I suspect this RTO could prove to be a very astute move. Time will tell, and I hope all LTH's here will gain some reward for their patience.

Whilst the results are not due for a good while, the year end report is now due at AAAP. As it is a main market listed company, I believe DL will have to be a lot more circumspect in his report and I am hoping that we will glean some official news on his plans for South Africa. As I have said, quite a few times now, there are a lot of synergies between the two companies, and as people have said, AfriAg Global appears to be holding its own now and growing revenues and profits. One thing is for sure, DL has a plan, but I just wish he would tell the owners of the company what it is.

Geocurve awarded �1.1m 3D and Virtual Reality survey contract Strat Aero is pleased to announce that its wholly owned Geocurve subsidiary has been awarded a contract to provide an innovative technology-based 3D and Virtual Reality survey service for the Environment Agency's Thames Estuary Asset Management 2100 (TEAM2100) programme. This reflects Geocurve's continuing transition to becoming an industry leader as a specialist technology-based UK provider of data rich surveying services including multi-sensors and data analytics to create 3D mapping and Virtual Reality (VR) imaging. The contract award to Geocurve follows the successful completion of a 'proof of concept' trial in which Geocurve proposed and demonstrated an innovative solution to deliver a 3D survey of the entire Thames defence and foreshore. The contracted surveys will use Geocurve's full surveying and data analytics skill set and the latest technology comprising innovative mobile multi scanners and sensor platforms that capture a full 360� spherical view of image data as well as LiDAR data. This will enable a full 3D mapping and Virtual Reality representation of the River Thames. The contract initially provides a fixed revenue of �1.1m over three years, with work beginning within the current quarter. Trevor Brown, Executive Director of Strat-Aero, said "With this contract win Geocurve has demonstrated its potential to become a UK market leader in the supply of virtual reality and artificial intelligence surveying services to specialist customers on critical projects such as the Thames flood defences. Geocurve's use of innovative technology gives it the potential to transform the nature of surveying."

That's better....breakout time...
