Pretoria - Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe is to address an Oil and Gas Indaba in Bloemfontein next week as part of Women's Day celebrations, the Presidency said.

The Oil and Gas Indaba, which starts on Monday, coincides with Women's Day and aims to provide a platform for stakeholders in the oil and gas sector to deliberate on amongst other things the oil and gas upstream value chain, opportunities in the sector and licensing.
