Progressive Leader Issue 3

Treasurer General Phosa speaks in
London at a PBF/Lonmin brieﬁ ng
Bankers, fund managers, mining house executives, business leaders, community leaders and politicians joined the ANC
Progressive Business Forum at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 29 October 2009 for a brieﬁ ng by ANC Treasurer
General, Dr Mathews Phosa, who addressed the more than 100 guests on the topic “President Jacob Zuma: The ﬁ rst 6 months
put into the context of the next ﬁ ve years”.
In response to enquiries arising from the speech to the British & European business leaders at the event, which was co-hosted
by Lonmin, who’s CEO Ian Farmer also addressed the gathering, the PBF conﬁ rmed that two or three similar events are planned
for 2010 in the United Kingdom and Europe. In his speech, which was well received by the those who attended, the Treasurer
General, Dr. Mathews Phosa, conﬁ rmed this as follows: “The Co-Convenors of the PBF, Renier Schoeman and Daryl Swanepoel,
will engage with you regarding further events next year where members of the ANC leadership as well as government Ministers
will engage with you here in London on issues that deﬁ ne our commercial and other relationships”.
Requests for ongoing feedback on political developments in South Africa and the positive responses that have been received in
the UK since the event will be carefully considered by the PBF, so as to build on the positive sentiments generated by the event.
