Pretoria – Mpumalanga Premier David Mabuza will lead a delegation to Angola in the provinces of Luanda and Cuando Cubango.
The visit, which is scheduled from Thursday until Sunday, is aimed at finalising the Memorandum of Understanding covering the areas of cooperation in agriculture and forestry, tourism and nature conservation, infrastructure development, trade and investment.
“The Mpumalanga Provincial Government’s mission to Angola follows a three-day investment fact finding inbound mission to Mpumalanga by the former Governor of Cuando Cubango, General Higino Carneiro, in July last year,” the Premier’s office said in a statement on Wednesday.
Premier Mabuza will be meeting with the current Governor for Cuando Cubango Pedro Mutindi as well as General Carneiro, who is now the current Governor of Luanda.
During last year’s meeting, both Premier Mabuza and General Carneiro indicated an intention to start working relations between the two provinces.
Premier Mabuza will be accompanied by Mbombela Local Municipality Mayor Sibusiso Mathonsi, Mpumalanga Provincial Administration Director-General Thulani Mdakane, MEGA CEO Xola Sithole and MTPA Acting CEO Abe Sibiya. – SAnews.org.za
