Group Organisational Structure and Operating Model

Tadzina D. Mannathoko is the founder and Director of Afri-Fuel-Consult (Pty) Ltd, incorporated in Botswana under registration number BW00003299246. He established AFC to operate as a principal-trading entity in the global refined petroleum market, with a particular focus on EN590 10ppm diesel and Jet A-1 aviation turbine fuel. 

Mr. Mannathoko oversees the company's overall commercial strategy, counterparty relationships, trade structuring, and corporate governance. His approach to petroleum trading is grounded in market intelligence, documentary discipline, and jurisdiction-specific commercial positioning across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and South America. 

Otto von Rudloff is the Group Chief Executive Officer of Afri-Fuel-Consult (Pty) Ltd, responsible for the day-to-day leadership of the Group and the delivery of its commercial strategy across the petroleum, copper, and gold trading verticals. He reports to the Board and Chairman, and directs the executive team across the Group's Botswana head office and in-country satellite operations.

A Motswana executive with more than 20 years of leadership experience, Otto has held senior roles across banking, petroleum retail, operations, and commercial strategy. As Managing Director of one of Botswana's most respected recoveries businesses, he grew the collections portfolio by BWP 210 million and built scalable, KPI-driven operations serving major banking clients. His earlier career includes Head of Retail and Commercial at Petrohyper Botswana, Chief Operations Officer of OSEG Group, and formative years at Barclays Bank of Botswana.

Otto's mandate at AFC is disciplined execution: credible supply chains, documentary rigour, and delivery on every commitment the Group makes. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration (Marketing) from the University of Botswana and is a long-standing mentor to youth entrepreneurs and SMEs.

 Guntars Klavins is AFC's primary interface with refineries and upstream supply sources across the Eastern European, and broader Eurasian supply corridor. Operating out of Europe, he is responsible for origin selection, FOB procurement, load port coordination, vessel nomination support, and all supply-side operations from refinery gate to bill of lading. His role ensures that every metric tonne AFC commits to selling has a credible, documented, and executable supply chain behind it before a commercial offer is made to any buyer. Guntars oversees Afri Fuel's logistics and operations, ensuring efficiency and reliability in our supply chain. His expertise in project management and adherence to compliance standards allows us to navigate the complexities of petroleum distribution with confidence. 

 Bright Ml'Zanga leads AFC's commercial outreach to buyers across the globe, with a particular focus on developing and maintaining relationships with government entities, state trading companies, large-volume commercial buyers, and strategic counterparties across Africa, Europe, Asia, and South America. British-Congolese by background, Bright brings both deep African market understanding and international commercial fluency to AFC's buyer-facing operations. His mandate is straightforward: identify serious, creditworthy buyers, understand their supply requirements, and connect them to AFC's execution capability.
