The 21st World Economic Forum on Africa will hold in South Africa from Wednesday to Friday this week in Cape Town.

The meeting to be held under the theme "Shaping Africa’s Role in the New Reality” will discuss how Sub- Saharan Africa can sustain its growth path and become the pillars of global growth demand.

It is being held against the backdrop of increasing global recognition of Africa’s growth potential.

The Forum will also focus on how Africa can strengthen its voice in multilateral Forums such as the G-20 and the 17th Conference of the parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Climate Change conference will be held in Durban in December.

The meeting will be attended by over nine hundred participants from 60 countries.
