Reaffirming her dedication to Africa's energy sector, South African minister of minerals and energy, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, will be one of the featured keynote speakers at the African Utility Week taking place in Cape Town, 16-19 May 2005. The minister is a supporter and driver of the restructuring programme for South Africa and she will present on the rollout plans for South Africa for the year ahead.

The program features over 60 industry-elite speakers. African Utility Week is organised by Spintelligent, sponsored by Actaris, Choice Africa, KoCos, Landis+Gyr, MTN, Syntell and the City of Cape Town? is the 2005 host utility.
