New head for SA Shippers Council

Well-known industry personality Brenda Horne- Ferreira has been appointed CEO of the South African Shippers’ Council (SASC), effective from July 1. She takes over from Dr Beverley Waugh who was the part-time executive director of the organisation and an associate professor at Unisa where she will now continue on a full time basis. Under Waugh’s watch the SASC has been transformed from a purely cargo owners organisation to a collective collaborative industry organisation, says Horne- Ferreira, who headed up the Maputo Corridor Logistics Initiative for many years, going into semi-retirement in 2011. She will focus on raising membership, finances and support, with the mandate to open up a permanent office for the SASC in Gauteng in the very near future. CAPTION Brenda Horne- Ferreira
