Abstract

South African President and Chair of the High Level Panel (HLP) on Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs) from Africa, Thabo Mbeki will meet with representatives of the Mauritian governments, private sector, academia and civil society to discuss the issue of IFFs, which have contributed to stunt Africa’s development over the last decades.
