2 SEPTEMBER 2019
After a year away, the World Economic Forum on Africa is back. Returning to Cape Town for the first time since 2015 after stints in Kigali and Durban, this year's forum in the shadow of Table Mountain offers business leaders, activists, politicians and technologists a vital chance to take stock of the continent's progress amid an era of rapid economic and political change.
With so much ground to cover, the task of organising a timely and impactful agenda has fallen to Elsie Kanza, head of the regional agenda for Africa at WEF and a former economic assistant to Tanzanian president Jakaya Kikwete.
