Important dates

For operational reasons we have had to alter the submission dates for this conference. However, as we are aware that a considerable amount of literature was in circulation before we did this we will honour all submissions that arrive by the original dates (17 January for Abstracts and 6 March for papers). We would ask that you strive to meet the new dates as these have been arranged to allow a longer paper review period which we hope will give authors more time to arrange travel and registration after receiving reviewer feedback.

University of Cape Town

Applications to join the conference committee are invited from academics and practitioners researching or working in the field. Membership of the review committee is restricted to faculty members and senior practitioners.

Located at the southern tip of the African continent Cape Town is know as ‘the fairest Cape in all the world”.  Discovered by the Portuguese explorer Bartholomew Dias in 1486 it was initially settled by the Dutch East India Company as a supply way-station for ships en-route to the far east. Today it is a vibrant city with an estimated population of just under 3 million & it reflects much of what is best in sub-Saharan Africa.
