The 55th ANC national conference gala dinner is sold out and exceeded its target of 300 guest with the most expensive table costing R1.2m to sit next to President Cyril Ramaphosa.
Progressive Business Forum convener Sipho Mbele said they were expecting more than 300 guests for the event on Thursday night at the Johannesburg Expo Centre in Nasrec, Johannesburg.PBF is a programme of the ANC, mandated to promote and enhance liaison between government, the ANC and business. It functions under the auspices of the treasurer-general office.
Mbele said the silver seat ticket is the highest and costs R30,000 per person. The nickle seat costs R10,000 while the chrome and bronze seats cost R5,000 each per person.“The demand for tickets is overwhelming and huge. We are stressing to make provision for extra people. We planned for 300 guests and now we have gone over that figure. We are overstretched. People are buying at the same time on our online system. We are planning on adding a few tables,’’ said Mbele.
