The channel\u2019s flagship daily actuality talk show, African Dialogue, will be broadcast live from 11h00-12h00 from the expo floor on both days of the exhibition, which is expected to be attended by more than 5000 power and water professionals from all over the continent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChannel Africa is the perfect broadcasting partner for us as we have very similar goals\u201d, says Claire Volkwyn, programme director for African Utility Week and Clean Power Africa. \u201cAs the largest utility event of its kind, we have been bringing together African utilities and service providers for more than 13 years to assist in the growth of Africa\u2019s power sector and the continent\u2019s electrification.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Channel Africa is the SABC\u2018s international radio station and broadcasts across Africa on three platforms: shortwave, satellite, and internet. Its broadcasts are in Chinyanja, Silozi, Kiswahili, English, French and Portuguese. The shortwave broadcast covers the south, east, central and west Africa. The satellite broadcast covers the sub-Saharan region although it can be picked as far as London. The internet broadcast covers the entire world.<\/p>\n<p>Africa Month<br \/>\n\u201cChannel Africa\u2019s presence at and coverage of African Utility Week dovetails neatly with \u2018Africa Month\u2019 celebrations during the month of May across the African continent\u201d, says Mamolefe Segakweng, the station\u2019s Head of Marketing and Communications. \u201cBeing part of this project enhances our vision of \u201cTo be the Voice of the African Renaissance\u201d. We have the responsibility to inform, educate, entertain and empower our listeners. I believe that access to electricity for all Africans is a catalyst for economic development. We look forward to meeting experts in the power industry in South Africa and the rest of the continent and sharing with our listeners the progress that is being made in this sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The co-located Clean Power Africa event provides a unique focus on renewable energy and the plans that need to be put to integrate this technology into the utility environment.<\/p>\n<p>African Utility Week and Clean Power Africa dates and location:<br \/>\nExhibition  Conference: 14-15 May 2013<br \/>\nPre-conference Workshops: 13 May 2013<br \/>\nSite Visits: 16 May 2013<br \/>\nLocation: CTICC, Cape Town, South Africa<\/p>\n<p>Websites: www.african-utility-week.com ; www.clean-power-africa.com<\/p>\n<p>Contact for African Utility Week:<br \/>\nCommunications manager: Annemarie Roodbol<br \/>\nTelephone: +27 21 700 3558<br \/>\nmobile: +27 82 562 7844<br \/>\nEmail: annemarie.roodbol@clarionevents.com<\/p>\n<p>For Channel Africa:<br \/>\nMarketing and communications manager: Mamolefe Segakweng<br \/>\nTelephone: +27 11 714 3413<br \/>\nMobile: +27 83 307 6831<br \/>\nEmail: segakwengm@sabc.co.za<br \/>\nWebsite: http:\/\/www.channelafrica.org\/<\/p>\n<p><strong>URL<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.african-utility-week.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.african-utility-week.com<\/a><br \/><strong>Twitter<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AfricaUtilities\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/AfricaUtilities<\/a><br \/><strong>Facebook<\/strong>:<br \/><strong>YouTube<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Author: <strong>Annemarie Roodbol<\/strong> from <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.african-utility-week.com\" target=\"_blank\">African Utility Week<\/a><strong>.
