During the highly successful event, Adefaratoluwa Osindero Olutimehin, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and President of Clevenard Group Worldwide, held a series of high-level meetings with prominent South African leaders, traditional leaders, entrepreneurs and distinguished personalities.

Clevenard and Moretele Municipality Set to Strengthen Cooperation
As part of the growing relationship, Clevenard Group Worldwide is preparing to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Moretele Local Municipality.
The proposed MOU is intended to establish a framework for cooperation aimed at attracting tourism and investment between Africa and the African diaspora, while creating greater international visibility for the municipality and opening opportunities for investors, businesses, tourists, institutions and development partners.
The proposed collaboration will seek to promote Moretele as a destination for tourism, investment, cultural engagement and economic opportunities, while using Clevenard's international networks and platforms to connect the municipality with African diaspora communities and stakeholders across Europe and other parts of the world.
The partnership is expected to explore opportunities in areas including tourism development, investment promotion, trade, culture and heritage, business development, international networking, education, media visibility and sustainable economic development.
Mr. Osindero Adefaratoluwa also met with Dr. Sello Stephen Setshedi, further strengthening Clevenard's commitment to developing meaningful relationships with African professionals, institutions and leaders internationally.
Another significant engagement was held with His Royal Highness Prince Maloka, reflecting Clevenard's continued interest in working with traditional leadership and cultural institutions to promote African heritage, leadership, culture, development and international collaboration.
The Clevenard leadership also held an important meeting with Mrs. Khabonina Nomsa Jiyane, Founder of eKhabo – Luxury Rooted in Heritage. The engagement highlighted the importance of African heritage, culture, entrepreneurship, luxury and the preservation and promotion of indigenous identity on the global stage.
As the Founder of eKhabo, Mrs. Jiyane represents an entrepreneurial approach that places heritage and cultural identity at the heart of luxury, creating opportunities to showcase African stories, craftsmanship, identity and heritage to wider international audiences.
Building Bridges Between Africa and the Diaspora
The engagements form part of Clevenard's broader vision of creating practical bridges between Africa, Europe and the African diaspora, particularly by connecting governments, municipalities, businesses, investors, tourism stakeholders, cultural institutions and professionals.
The proposed Moretele Municipality–Clevenard MOU represents another step towards this vision, with the aim of turning international relationships into concrete tourism, investment and economic opportunities.
Speaking on the significance of the engagements, Adefaratoluwa Osindero Olutimehin, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and President of Clevenard Group Worldwide, emphasised the importance of creating platforms that move beyond networking to develop meaningful and sustainable international partnerships.
The Clevenard Open Project 2026 demonstrated Clevenard's growing role as an international platform for dialogue, collaboration, recognition and strategic relationship-building across sectors and borders.
Clevenard Group Worldwide looks forward to advancing the proposed cooperation with Moretele Local Municipality and working with African and diaspora stakeholders to create new channels for tourism, investment, trade, entrepreneurship, cultural exchange and sustainable development.
