Over hundreds of eminent individuals who play key roles in leading companies, associations, unions, governments and media organisations are converging in Cape Town for the 18th World Economic Forum on Africa.

The three-day meeting, which kicks off on Wednesday, is themed "Capitalising on opportunity".

With co-chairs from Nigeria, South Africa, the United States, Japan and the United Arab Emirates, the opening day of WEF-Africa will see a natural synergy with two of Africa's economic leaders as it coincides with a South Africa-Nigeria bilateral business forum to be attended by President Thabo Mbeki and visiting Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua.
