We heard good news today that, SACCI President Advocate Mtho Xulu  has accepted his nomination as member of the South African Chapter of the BRICS Business Council deregulation working group (DWG) as per the letter below.

The BRICS Business Council was established during the 5th BRICS Summit held on the 26th-27th March 2013 in Durban, South Africa. The object of creating the council was to constitute a platform which will promote and strengthen business, trade and investment ties amongst the business communities of the five BRICS countries, ensure that there is regular dialogue between the business communities of the BRICS nations and the Governments of the BRICS countries; and identify problems and bottlenecks to ensure greater economic, trade and investment ties amongst the BRICS countries and recommend solutions accordingly.

We are sure that members will join us in congratulating Advocate Mtho Xulu for this nomination.
