Some of Africa’s wealthiest private sector business leaders are set to headline the first annual African Business Leaders Forum in Johannesburg by the end of the year.
The conference, to be held at the Sandton Convention Centre from December 9-12, has already attracted some of Africa’s most prestigious and influential business leaders, including South Africa’s Patrice Motsepe‚ Ethiopia’s Mohammed Al Amoudi‚ Kenyan businessman Chris Kirubi‚ as well as Folorunsho Alakija‚ the richest woman in Nigeria.
According to the head of the ABLF initiative, Ezra Ndwandwe‚ the main objective of the event is to acknowledge the need for change and start conversations around intra-continental trade.
“Africa is host to the majority of the world’s 10 fastest-growing economies‚ with more than $1.671 trillion of potential wealth that remains untapped‚” he said.
