Pretoria - Trade and Industry Deputy Minister Mzwandile Masina will later this week address the Nigeria-South Africa Chamber of Commerce (NSACC) breakfast forum.

The NSACC is scheduled for Thursday in Lagos, Nigeria.

The breakfast forum will be hosted by Brand SA and will discuss Africa’s competitiveness.

Deputy Minister Masina said with the trade volumes being recorded within Africa, countries can trade successfully with each other.
