The African Oil & Power event held September 5-7 in Cape Town, South Africa kicked off with opening speeches by some of the most respected figures from the continent’s oil and gas industry. Speeches were given by:
Hon. Jeff Radebe gave a warm welcome to everyone on behalf of his government and host nation and went on to acknowledge that 2018 marks the centenary of the birth of the late President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. He also paid tribute to the late Secretary General of UN, Kofi Anan.
The tone of the conference was set by the first panel, who collectively called for energy coalitions and collaboration of all stake holders. These views were shared by H.E. Mohammed Barkindo (later to receive the Man of Oil Award) OPEC; Dr Sun Xiansheng (International Energy Forum); H.E Yury Sentyurin (Gas Exporting Countries Forum); and H.E Mahaman Gaya (African Petroleum Producer’s Organization).
