Frost & Sullivan Examines Prospects for Financiers and Equipment Suppliers in Southern African Infrastructure Projects

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, June 1, 2010 - The poor state of infrastructure in Africa is a major hindrance to
economic growth. Years of neglect and a shortage of public funds to finance
infrastructure across the continent has led to critical under-investment in
development.

To shed light on the infrastructure backlog in Southern Africa and
highlight key investment opportunities across the region, Frost & Sullivan
will be hosting an online analyst briefing on Thursday 10 June 2010 at 2:00pm
BST/ 3:00pm CAT. The briefing will provide insight into projects in
information and communication technologies, power generation, transportation
and water.

"African governments have been slow to scope, design, award and implement
projects due to limited skills and financial resources," says Frost &
Sullivan industrial analyst Litiya Matakala. "This briefing provides an
overview of key infrastructure needs and their attractiveness in selected
Southern African countries."

The discussion will include analyses of key infrastructure projects, the
investment climate in Southern African countries, key and potential
investment opportunities, and country and business risk. It will benefit
project financiers, equipment suppliers and various government agencies
involved in infrastructure development.
