Hi Willem,
I have heard lots of great things about you form Yusuf Omar. I would very much like you to consider becoming part of our Global South Africans initiative. Please take a look at the website. My colleague Lee Gillespie-White will be in touch.

Hello all,
Thank you for all the work you do to champion South African business in Minnesota. I wanted to contact Willem Ellis to discuss Acqumine. Through the GSA project — of which I am US Manager and which is detailed in our website — I’m trying to get him venture capital funding and wanted to share ideas.
On another note, I’d love to be in contact with all the South Africans on your board — and I presume that is most of you — to try and convince you to join our network.
I look forward to being in contact.

I know Willem from way back when he still lived in South Africa. I am still in South Africa and are glad for his initiative linking our countries.
As South African I would like to make contact with managers in the tourism ( hunting in Africa), agriculture and if there are churches who are interested in making contact I would gladly assist
Greeting
Willem Pretorius

I’m British/South African and already have family members living and raised in MN. Please contact me should you be able to steer me in the right direction or help in any way. Thanking you kindly.
