The formulation of a progressive approach for South Africa’s supply chain industry will dominate discussion during a spread-out think tank event co-hosted by the South African Association of Freight Forwarders and leadership academy, Da Vinci Institute.

Centred on one recurring theme, ‘Co-creating a New Reality for Supply Chain in South Africa’, the think tank will be held on three different days, featuring three different speakers.

The dates are as follows: June 14, 21 and 31.

And the speakers? Respectively Karen Harrison from National Treasury, SA Revenue Service executive Vonani Ntlhabyane, and Dr Khalid Bichou, an esteemed expert on ports and maritime logistics.
