There are 51\u00a0South Africans attending the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting held in Davos this week, including eight government officials.<\/p>\n

The WEF\u2019s annual meeting, at the Swiss mountain resort of Davos from January 22-25,\u00a0brings together thousands of high-profile delegates in business, finance and governance from around the globe.<\/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\u00a0CEO, Maria Ramos, Nedbank chief exec Mike Brown and billionaire, Patrice Mostsepe.<\/p>\n

The 2015 meeting is hosting over 2,800 delegates this year, up from 2,600 in 2014. South Africa had 40 delegates attending last year, 10 of which were government officials.<\/p>\n

South Africa would have had 53 representatives this year, but Eskom announced on Monday (19 January) that it would withdraw from the meeting.<\/p>\n

Eskom\u00a0had previously confirmed that two executives \u2013 chairperson Zola Tsotsi and group executive for sustainability Steve Lennon- would be attending Davos this year after CEO,\u00a0Tshediso Matona pulled out of the event on 9 January.<\/p>\n

The reported cost per delegate to attend the meeting is $20,000 (R230,000), with estimates by CNN Money pegging the total cost (with hotels, food and other activities) closer to $40,000 (R460,000) per head.<\/p>\n

Based on this estimate, South Africa’s total Davos bill could be as high as $2 million (R23 million) – R3.7 million for government officials alone.<\/p>\n

Here is the full list of South Africans attending the meeting, according to Quartz<\/a>.<\/p>\n
