A special recognition will honour pioneers and outstanding processionals from the KSD for their contribution to the municipality's socio-economic development, symbolising the transfer of knowledge and leadership to future generations.
The platform presents an opportunity for business sector and professionals to network, and define the trajectory of development within KSD.
