Inaugural South Africa Investment Forum 2012

Conducting business in Africa requires a specialized expertise different from other locations and markets as transactions often involve parties in multiple countries, municipalities and sectors that often have diverse, and sometimes conflicting, financial, social, legal, political and regulatory requirements and interests.
