The African Utility Week also known as AMU, has been going on for the last 12 years, where different sponsors, exhibitors and visitors take part in coming together to explore and learn more about the range of utilities that the industry has. These ranges from your power supplies, water, and waste managements. It is a great opportunity for the different exhibitors to come together and share business ideas and look further on where they should improve regarding their utilities.

This event is one that will help educate people about the importance of saving energy; water; how to manage waste by recycling; knowing how to clean up after yourself; stop littering and the ability to help out in giving your input and ideas in coming up with solid, long-term solutions and strategies in improving the land we live on. We are faced with multiple problems caused by the ignorance of humans, we need to acknowledge the importance of our resources or else we will suffer a great deal in the long run. This expo aims to improve our economy, make us benefit, help us to network and have professional business relationships in different industries locally and internationally. Now that is what i call a good strategy plan and a well formed foundation for a growing and stable economy and a well developed country.
There are campaigns that are already doing that but still the is no difference. Do you think that this conference will be able to make a difference?
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Dineo, how do you think this one will stand out from the rest and how will it make a difference???
ReplyDeleteThe event might give people a little education just for a short period. When it comes to making a different or change people need to change within themselves so that the whole idea of saving energy, water,recycling, stop littering and long term solution can be overcome.
ReplyDeleteI Feel that events such as these that help educate people about saving energy water, recycling and cleaning after yourself is very important. I feel that it is indeed a great strategy as iof people realise that they need to save water and energy our economy will improve drastically
ReplyDelete@Dineo and Sipokazi, well ladies the fact that those campaigns never made a difference thats the whole reason why they've come up with an event such as this to bring together company's from all around to network and come to a solution in order to help with such problems we are facing. That's why we have the water week in educating people about the importance of saving water, the whole concept of saving electricity and switching of appliances you are not using also this event works together with the different organisations that has made it popular in the media in the sense that while you are watching a programme a message pops up on your screen reminding you on saving energy.
ReplyDelete@Thembanator, Thank you Themba, it all starts with you and these events can only stretch to an extend but it's all up to us to stretch it even further. We cant always depend on them to do all the work, we also have to put in a hand.
@MphoMothiba, It sure is Mpho and it will make a great difference to our health and economy.
It`s so exciting to see people united doing good jobs like this one,they say together we can devided we fall so if we keep on doing things like this only the sky will be the limit otherwise nothing can stop us
ReplyDeletethis type of events are actually playing a big role and i think the conference will make a difference.
ReplyDeleteI believe the proof is in the pudding, i've never heard anything good coming from an expo or exhibition of any sort.

ReplyDelete@Phemelo, well dear this wouldn't happen over night hey so if we can just change the negative thinking and start thinking positvely then I see a way forward.
