  To the forum organisers, South African Department of Science and Technology, Infodev, World Bank and the sponsors of the forum. We say thank you for the awesome experience. I am not the same person anymore. I have learned so much in that forum. I cannot express how I feel and how grateful I am. That is the highlight of my career. It is my wish to attend more of such events. Once more, thank you....South Africa
