SUZUZ is changing its footing by expanding to other states the annual business meeting Green Youth Indaba, which brings together young industrialists who focus on different businesses that are responsible for the environment.

In a statement sent by the organizers of the event, it was revealed that they decided to cooperate with the government of the North West province because they want it to spread to the whole of South Africa, and not end up as if their event is only for the people of KwaZulu-Natal.
