Mabuza says relations with
Angolans will benefit generations
Mpumalanga Premier David Mabuza says the relations between Mpumalanga and the Angolan province of Cuando Cubango will benefit future generations from both countries.
Premier Mabuza was speaking at a send-off dinner of the Governor of the Province of Cuando Cubango from Angola, General Higino Carneiro, after his three-day fact-finding mission last night [Monday, 03 August 2015 in Hazyview.
Premier Mabuza said the Mpumalanga Provincial Government would soon send a delegation to formalize the content of the memorandum of intention, which is likely to be signed in September.
“It is going to be a difficult journey to start our relations, but the pain will certainly fade away as the time goes on, generations from our countries will surely be happy at the end of it all, therefore ours is nothing but to lay this foundation.
“We will be preparing ourselves to send a team to Angola, everyone that must work must do so because we have opened the doors. We encourage our business people to explore business opportunities in order for our relations to work,” said Mabuza.
The delegation spent the whole day yesterday visiting various provincial governments’ infrastructure development projects in Ehlanzeni District.
Again, speaking through an interpreter, the Governor of Cuando Cubango Province in Angola, General Carneiro, said they were looking forward to sign the memorandum of intention with Mpumalanga Provincial Government to establish the relations which could see the two provinces change experience on many aspects in developing their economies.
“We appreciate the sympathy showed to us, we were able to see many projects presented to us, given an opportunity to evaluate what we saw, we will respond shortly.
“Since some of our countries in Africa have reached their capacity to raise their economies, we have realized that we are only left with the opportunity to diversify as we cannot be dependent on one project. We would therefore like to diversify in your province.
“We hope your business people will come to our country and identify some business opportunities. We should receive the memorandum of intention as soon as possible to speed up this process,” said General Carneiro.
