Mafube Local Municipality includes Frankfort, Villiers, Cornelia and Tweeling in the Free State. The summit brings local enterprise and public leadership together around agriculture, agro-processing, tourism, manufacturing, construction and mining, with supporting infrastructure and finance. These are discussion sectors, not a claim that individual projects are approved or funded.
