African National Congress (ANC) Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe will on Thursday (23 September 2010) spend about an hour of his busy schedule at the organisationâs National General Council (NGC) to visit and engage with members of the South African business community exhibiting their wares and services at the Durban Exhibition Centre.

Members of the media are invited on a tour with the Deputy President to the business exhibition stands at the Network Forum Facility.

The Deputy President will later make a few remarks before attending NGC proceedings. Members of the media are advised to converge at gate number one (1) next to the Hilton Hotel at 12.30pm. Details of the walkabout are as follows:
