Q: What significant role are the U.S Ministers and delegates playing in this whole coming and working together of the U.S with Africa in Energy issues?
A: They are responsible for starting this relationship and wanting to help Africa. The United States is very well suited for this as they are a country that has the capacity, they have better access to technology and they are a successful country.

Q:Throughout the conference, it seems that a lot of emphasis is being placed on rural Africa, is South Africa also at the receiving end of the U.S's help?
A: Oh yes, we have 3 million people in South Africa who do not have any form of electrification, mostly the people out in the rural areas, so even though South Africa is slightly more developed than the other African countries,we also need a lot of help and the U.S has not excluded us out of it's attention.

Q: Has the private sector been very supportive in the area of financial assistance?
A: Yes, they have. They've participated extensively in this
conference and they are doing their best to help.
