Zimbabwe at forefront of industry training - SFAAZ

A focus on training has ensured that the Shipping & Forwarding Agents’ Association of Zimbabwe (SFAAZ) remains “a cut above the rest locally and regionally,” says chairman Felix Nyaruwanga. According to Nyaruwanga, Zimbabwe is one of only seven countries in the whole of Africa that are accredited to offer the international diploma in freight forwarding by Fiata, the world body. “We will continue to guard this achievement very jealously through delivery of well-tailored industry programmes that produce the best out of our graduates,” he says in his annual report for 2014. “Several of our qualified graduates have already received their international diplomas from Fiata. “We need to take this achievement a notch higher and go for the Higher Diploma in Supply Chain Management which South Africa has now been accredited to offer. “To this end, we are hoping to compile the necessary training material for consideration by Fiata during the March 2015 validation period,” he said. SFAAZ CEO Joseph Musariri has been appointed to the Fiata advisory body on vocational training as an ad-hoc member pending admission to full membership as soon as a vacancy arises.
