<p class="MsoNormal">Feedback is sought from you in relation to current activities or potential interest in the University of Cape Town. This information will be used to identify appropriate meetings at Cape Town for the Executive Director International who
is travelling to South Africa to attend the U21 Managers Meeting early next month. (The U21 meeting itself will be held at the University of Johannesburg, so if you have information about activities or interest with Johannesburg, please do include these in
your response.)<o:p></o:p></p>
