interact with leaders of the business community on the occasion of the Presidential
Business Unity South Africa (BUSA) Working Group Meeting in Cape Town, Tuynhuys,

discuss, among other things, the achievement of a higher economic growth trajectory
for South Africa. It will focus on strategies for enhancing investment, skills
development and employment creation. The Working Group last met on 3 August
2004 as the Black Business Working Group where it discussed inter alia, the issue
of South African business unity (that informs the shift to a more inclusive and
unifying BUSA Working Group), progress made in implementing Growth and Development
Summit agreements and black economic empowerment. Similar to the other sector-based
Presidential Working Groups, such as those on Women, the Youth, and Trade Unions,
the BUSA Working Group's mandate is to contribute to the South African government's
efforts to eradicate poverty and bringing an end to the scourge of underdevelopment
that has afflicted the African continent since colonial times. Business
Unity South Africa will be represented by the President of BUSA, Patrice Motsepe,
Director of Black Business Executive Circle, Thami Mazwai, President of the Black
Business Forum, Nolitha Fakude, Director of the National Black Business Caucus,
