Milla SA is pleased to host the upcoming Rural Development Conference to be held in Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa on the 25th  - 26th of  May 2011. The aim of the conference is to foster and promote rural and regional economic development, investing in concepts that significantly enhance the diversity of our state economy, digging us out of the recession and bringing Africans back to their communities.

This year’s theme is "Facilitating integrated Rural Development Programmes and Corporate Social Investment through vibrant, equitable and sustainable Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)."
Kindly RSVP if there will be anyone attending from your organisation. Due to the overwhelming response we only have a few seats remaining, hence first come first saved basis.
