Host for the afternoon: Prof. Dennis Goldberg

During the afternoon HBBOF, the Hout Bay Business Opportunities Forum, hosted an informal braaivleis and drinks gathering at the home of Professor Denis Goldberg where all the stakeholders could meet informally to get to know each other.

MEC Brown spent some time in a very relaxt environment with Councillor Marga Hayward also joining the gethering.

This was not a party political gathering, but recognition that the needs of the people of the Bay, especially those who live in Imizamo Yethu and the Hangberg, requires an all-in approach to economic growth and job creation.

This theme was reiterated in the short comments made by Professor Goldberg when he welcomed the guests, MEC Brown, and Councillor Hayward.

Juicy chops and wine make for easy "getting to know you."
