IT WAS an all-female cast as the two top achievers in the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers’ Professional Qualifying Exams received their prizes at a gala event in Durban earlier this month. Silvia Mileva of Ocean Africa Container Lines achieved the highest overall mark for which she took home a floating trophy and book prize sponsored by Safmarine. Livashnee Naidoo of Garlicke and Bousfield won the local SA prize for the best candidate in Dry Cargo Chartering and was also awarded the London prize for the candidate who obtained the highest mark in that subject, internationally. She will be travelling to the UK later this month to attend the London prize-giving function and collect her prize. Guest speaker Sean Minogue provided his insights into the evolution of communication from the early days to the current use of emails and text messaging.
