New Fesarta website to be launched

The Federation of East and Southern African Road Transport Associations (Fesarta) is set to launch a new website in 2012, its executive director Barney Curtis told FTW. “This site is the first step in the new direction that Fesarta is taking. We have joined forces with 3SMedia to allow us to grow our impact in the region we service. Through the infrastructure and other support it gives us it allows us to do things we were not able to do under the organisation’s existing structure,” said Curtis. He said the new site would be user-friendly and would be a valuable tool to the industry. In March the organisation will hold a first-of-its-kind Trucker’s Forum that will bring together role-players from across the industry to workshop five key problems currently being experienced. “This will not just be another conference,” he said. “It is essential that after the workshop there is an outcome and solution tabled on the critical problems raised.”
