The South African Association of Freight Forwarders (Saaff) is gearing up for its annual congress to be held in Cape Town from May 23-24. Presented by Lombard Insurance Group, the event will highlight and debate a range of pressing issues – from customs modernisation and security to piracy and supply chain efficiencies. A two-day industry supplier exhibition will run alongside the congress as well as a full-day Saaff seminar on May 23, covering issues such as the frameworks for vocational training and BBBEE opportunities, HR and employment equity in the freight forwarding industry.
