SA to host WEF special meeting in 2028 

Monday, November 2, 2026

South Africa will host the World Economic Forum (WEF) Special Meetings in Cape Town in March 2028.

“Hosted in South Africa, the meeting will bring together leaders from across the world to examine forces reshaping the global economy, explore new opportunities for growth and investment, and forge partnerships that can translate shared ambitions into meaningful economic outcomes,” National Treasury said in a statement on Monday.

The meeting will take place between 27 and 31 March 2028.

The Special Meeting forms part of WEF’s broader efforts to extend its global engagement beyond its Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

The meetings were initially announced as taking place in 2027; however, dates were subsequently revised following adjustments to the WEF’s international meeting calendar. -SAnews,gov.za
