Hujambo!
The African Union celebrated its 17th anniversary on the 26th May, so join us on Wednesday 13th June, when Celeste Fauconnier, Africa Specialist from Rand Merchant Bank, will update us on where to invest in Africa in 2018 We have chosen the 28th level of Portside as our venue as from this lofty perch, we can gain an overview of the microcosm that our city and a continent is. From the history and culture of the Cape Malays of the Bo-Kaap; the Deutsche Schule, Kapstadt and Germanic suburb of Tamboers Kloof, on the slopes of Signal Hill; the CBD high rises; the burgeoning suburbs of Vredehoek, Gardens and Oranjezicht to the bleak landscape of what remains of District Six – what an antithesis this represents, all under the incredible blue African sky! Africa is an awakening continent, so diarise this important date and join us on this voyage of discovery! Nkosi Sikelel i’Afrika! Sincerely Terry Gale Chairman |

With the team ready to go we have great expectations for 2014." The ECWC hosts monthly information sessions for its members and is involved in several business and government initiatives.
