There are 53 South Africans attending the World Economic Forum\u2019s annual meeting being held in Davos next week, including eight government officials.<\/p>\n

This accounts for nearly half of the\u00a0115 delegates attending from the African continent in total.<\/p>\n

In 2015, 51 delegates from South Africa attended, including eight government officials. In 2014 the figure was 40 delegates, with 10 government officials.<\/p>\n

The WEF\u2019s annual meeting, held at the Swiss mountain resort of Davos from January 20-23, will bring together thousands of high-profile delegates in business, finance and governance from around the globe.<\/p>\n

In 2016, President Jacob Zuma will once again be joined by seven other ministers, including minister of water and sanitation, Nomvula Mokonyane; finance minister, Pravin Gordhan; and energy minister, Tina Joemat-Pettersson.<\/p>\n

Joining the government delegates are high profile CEOs and leaders from some of South Africa\u2019s biggest companies and financial institutions, including Naspers chairman, Koos Bekker; Barclays Africa CEO, Maria Ramos, Nedbank chief exec Mike Brown and billionaire, Patrice Mostsepe.<\/p>\n

The list of Davos attendees often bears scrutiny, particularly in terms of public representatives attending, as the costs involved are reportedly staggeringly high, costing between $20,000 and $50,000 per delegate.<\/p>\n

South Africans are currently extremely sensitive to spending in dollars, following a crash in the currency that has pushed it to new lows versus the greenback.<\/p>\n

At current exchange rates, it could cost between R330,000 and R830,000 to send a single delegate to the event, and with eight government officials, that bill could stretch as high as R6.6 million.<\/p>\n

Here is the full list of South African attendees:<\/p>\n
