certification program for individual communities & regions These opportunities will not only provide us with
recognition, they will equip us with the capacity tocompete and win in the 21st century global economy
Its still all about jobs, investment, growth!
If there is no enemy within, the enemy out-side can do us no harmAfrican proverb
