Most delegates participated in the discussions from the floor and definitely every participant learnt something new and valuable.

Thank you all presenters, speakers, discussants and contributors from the floors.

 

This was the first public forum of its kind and we saw that one day was not sufficient to cover all issues raised.

 

There were many speakers, discussants  and contributors, however time was not our best friend hence some of the issues will be covered in our next forums.

 

We are still compiling all papers presented and the same will be shared to all and the event DVD will be available for sale as documentary.

 

The event would not have been possible without support and cooperation from following organizations :

 

1. African Barrick Gold Plc (ABG)
2. Car Track (T) Ltd
3. SIA Ltd (SME in Action)
4. Professional Approach Group

Special thanks to Mr. Deo Mwanyika - ABG Executive Vice President for showing special interest in our event despite the fact that he was very busy but he could still find time to respond to our requests even at midnight and also Mr. Nehemia Mchechu - NHC Director General , despite the fact that he was not in the country but he could follow our communications and act accordingly to support our initiative. Also special thanks to Mrs. Eunice Chiume, Head of Corporate Affairs, NSSF for your positive responses and many thanks to Ms. Anna Nyimbo of Car Track (T) Ltd for acting timely and responsibly to support us.
