(3) In April 2002, during a visit to South Africa a senior officer from BusinessACT met with the Executive Mayor of the Metropolitan Municipality of Tshwane to deliver a letter from the Chief Minister inviting the Mayor to bring a delegation to the ACT to progress the relationship. Discussions are progressing with the possibility of the Executive Mayor visiting Canberra after the South African National elections in 2004.
