Mission to South Africa and Lesotho
Dear Friends,
Instead of the SMART mission of 7-13 April, 2016 we improved our mission program to South Africa and Lesotho by combining it with the African Utility Week, held from 17-19 May, 2016 in Cape Town.
It is my pleasure to send you herewith again my personal invitation to join me.
The full program as mentioned below has 2 focus sections during 17-20 May 2016. Only highlights are mentioned. Many personal contacts and activities are already prepared. Your input is of course most welcome.
Very special part of the program: our first dedicated visit to Lesotho with meetings with King Letsie III, his ministers and Lesotho businessmen.
Looking forward to seeing many of you on this unique trip!
Best regards,
Jan Hak
