Insightful presentations and heartfelt appreciation for organisations enhancing our local suppliers. I repledge to aggressively continue to grow and enhance our local market.

Excited to have been part of this Indaba. Indeed, procurement is universal. Issues raised through discussions and presentations are the same issues we experience in Botswana. I learnt a lot and I cannot wait to share what I learnt with other professionals at home.
