SAAFF(South African Assosciation of Freight Forwarders) is a national association with members throughout the Republic of South Africa. While it attends to matters of national interest, its constitution permits regions to form chapters of the association to deal with local issues. Six regions have qualified to establish their own chapters – Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, East London, Port Elizabeth, the Western Cape and the Border. The Association is a non-profit organisation governed by a constitution which provides for a board of directors, with a Chairperson and Vice Chairperson. Its directors are highly experienced, senior managers from member freight forwarding companies, who are nominated and voted for by these members. An Executive Officer administers and manages the Association’s daily affairs.
