British Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday pledged to prioritise investment in Africa as she started a three-nation visit to the continent to drum up new trade deals ahead of leaving the European Union.
Her tour of South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya — May's first to Africa since becoming premier in 2016 — is seen as an effort to reinforce Britain's global ambitions after Brexit.
