SAAFF 'New Frontiers' Conference
Dr Sonja Grater was invited to be a speaker at the prestigious annual conference of the South African Association of Freight Forwarders (SAAFF), which was held at the International Convention Centre in Durban from 14 to 16 October 2015.
With the theme of the conference being 'New Frontiers', delegates debated the fast-changing world of international trade and logistics, the crucial role played by the freight industry in trade facilitation and the need for the industry to reinvent itself. A key topic of discussion was the new challenges that will confront this industry over the next few years as it seeks to adapt and comply with the new SA Customs Act (2014).
Dr Grater's presentation highlighted South Africa's strategic role as a gateway into Africa and the contribution that trade facilitation will have to make if South Africa wishes to remain competitive in the Southern African region, especially in light of the rapid progress being made by other Southern African countries on this front.
