COEGA IMPLEMENTING AUTHORITY
Presentation to THE NETWORK: AUGUST 11, 1999
Thank you, chairperson
Ladies and gentleman
A key factor in any business initiative is having a vision. Tonight I want to ask you to join me in saluting the people of vision at Telkom, in particular Mandla Tyala and his team, and the people of vision at the Evening Post, Lakela Kaunda and her associates, for this wonderful initiative. I believe these Network gatherings can play a very important role in identifying and promoting business opportunities in our city and our region. Please join me in paying tribute to those who have had the foresight to bring us together in this manner.
In the six months that I have been living in Port Elizabeth, I have been a happy recipient of the friendliness and hospitality which sets PE apart as “the Friendly City”.
