South Africa, Save the Date

If you want to learn about the cargo security challenges and threats to supply chains in South Africa, make-a-date to join TAPA EMEA’s regional conference at the Emperor’s Palace Conference Centre in Johannesburg on 7 March 2023.

Registration will open in January for the one-day event, which will feature speakers including:

General Mothiba, Chair of Titan Aviation Group
Brigadier Scott, South African Police Service, discussing the secure supply chain process as well as incidents/recoveries
Waheed Mohamed, TAPA EMEA Regional Lead, on risks, threats and building resilient security standards into logistics operations
Martin Taylor, Rhenus Logistics, presenting a case study on an attempted cargo robbery
Busisiwe Mavuso, CEO of Business Leadership SA, on the impact of crime in South Africa

Delegates will also hear from members of the TAPA EMEA leadership team about the Association’s work to help companies secure their supply chains in South Africa. More speakers will be confirmed in the New Year. The regional conference will be followed on 8 March with an introductory FSR, TSR & PSR training for companies interested in adopting the TAPA Security Standards for their facilities and trucking operations.

“We hope our members in South Africa will support this event and members in Europe will encourage their local representatives to join us in Johannesburg. In our last 18-month Cargo Theft Report, we recorded cargo losses in 78 countries in EMEA. South Africa was number one. This event will discuss the causes of crime and, more importantly, help delegates learn about ways they can prevent losses and protect their workforces,” said Markus Prinz, TAPA EMEA’s Senior Manager, Standards & Training.

A limited number of small exhibition space will also be available. To find out more, contact info@tapaemea.org
