AWARDS HIGHLIGHTS
 
Dr Gunther Faber
"The ingredients in Africa are there for companies that have got a long term vision to get in and establish themselves. There are also fantastically well-educated and qualified Africans that you can bring into your organisation. So the opportunities are tremendous.

Unfortunately, the media very often survive or thrive by sensational reporting. So bad news or shock news is easily transmitted, but good news does not always sell a story. It's for the responsible press to come out with more good news stories, of which there are more than enough in Africa to wet the appetite of investors."
