The South Africa High Commissioner to Ghana, Madam Lulu Xingwana, has called on African business leaders to consider rural areas in their investment options.

She said the business community should look at projects, which could be operated in the rural areas to create the needed development to their various countries.

Madam Xingwana was speaking during a business panel discussion on how the Gauteng Province, from South Africa could do business with their Ghanaian counterparts in Accra.

She commended Ghana for being one of the best countries on the African continent for its stable good governance and peaceful transition.

She also lauded government for its efforts to promote high quality of education in the country and expressed the hope that more areas of the economy would also get the needed attention.

She said the business delegation from the Gauteng Province was looking to invest in Ghana and use the country as an extension to other parts of the West Africa Sub-region.
