The accomplishment of the KwaZulu-Natal Top Business Portfolio 2010 has exceeded all expectations.
The Portfolio is the publication of choice by the Premier's Office of KwaZulu-Natal and was used extensively to showcase KwaZulu-Natal to the international market over the World Cup period. A second printing of the publication was required on the eve of the first match hosted at the Moses Mabhida stadium for distribution to visiting dignitaries at official functions. Premier Mkhize recently stated that the "The global marketing exposure we have received from successfully hosting this tournament has firmly put us on a world map as a serious global player, and will immensely grow investment opportunities and greatly boost the tourism industry."

Of note is that your achievements as a business has been used to market the province as a worthwhile investment and business destination to a wide audience. Well done to you and congratulations on being part of our success.

We look forward to the KwaZulu-Natal Top Business Portfolio 2011 taking us into the future.
