Date: Tuesday 25 May 2021
Although it is traditionally accepted that Africa holds immense mineral wealth, an understanding of Africa’s true wealth is obscured; with adverse perceptions of Africa’s financial status and global value enduring. In the international financial mental model of value, a rapid reframing for the revaluation of Africa has now become essential for global rebalance. Join us for the next event in our Leader’s Angle series, where our panel of experts will unpack this thought-provoking topic.
A panel of experts will discuss the topic and include Dr Mamphela Ramphele, Dr Morne Mostert, McKevin Ayaba, Dr Tobias de Coning with the Facilitator being Dr Njeri Mwagiru.?
