Fa-eez Swail, senior shop steward of SACD Freight in the Western Cape, was crowned the Champion of Champions at the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport: South Africa’s (Ciltsa) National Forklift Driver Competition at SACD in Gauteng last month. Swail beat 16 other talented forklift drivers in a tough competition to walk away with this coveted award. According to a Ciltsa spokesman, 17 qualified forklift drivers competed in the organisation’s National Forklift Finals. The finalists were selected through regional competitions in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape. “The standard of driving at the National Finals was high, but the Western Cape Forklift Drivers took top honours in all categories. The other provinces have their work cut out for them over the next year to hone their skills,” Ciltsa executive director Catherine Larkin told FTW. “Ciltsa is committed to the advancement of logistics and transport and is committed to the competition,” said Larkin.
