A South African businessman whose name is synonymous with the international diamond trade has told an African Union (AU) audience that the global economic crisis was caused by "greed and recklessness" but that it offered Africa the opportunity to create "an African way of doing business" based on "fairness, integrity and sustainable development."

I would like Mr Oppenheimer to open his door to me and my proposals.
The Cheif Economist at the AU is aware I am waiting for him to confirm a time and date to discuss our invitation as well as accept our offer to supply an inward investment service for Pan-African Private Sector Businesses. The project title is Africa Circular Sustainable Markets (ACSM).
Perhaps, Mr Oppenheimer will go beyond attending this days events and consider the real point he should be making is that " the organisations that represent Africa and the institutions that provide financail support should open their doors". Why do these doors remain closed when the public are told approach and be welcome.
I am still waiting!
I am available at anytime and willing to add both viable and sustainable solutions to help Africa move beyond the current as well as the historic problems. I only require your time.
In all due respect,
Sincerely,
Ms Starr Hart-Meekums CEO & Founder WWC Ltd - ACSM Ltd. +44 (0) 1787 313191
