I started SIYAZI in 1996 but my interest and passion
for the transport industry began well before
this. I have been involved in the sector for more
than 40 years, having qualified in the early 1970s.
During this time, I have produced various papers and
studies – both independently as well as co-authoring these with colleagues and partners throughout the years – presenting these to both public and private sector.

SIYAZI was created with a clear purpose and that was
to be a key transport specialist in South Africa and the
continent through effective, sustainable empowerment
and skills transfer to provide transport solutions that
favour job creation.

I believe that, together with my team, we have achieved
this objective but because of the dynamic nature of the transport industry, this will and must be a constant work
in progress. It is for this reason that the sustainability
and continuity of SIYAZI remain at the forefront of how
we operate. To my team and all our industry partners
and affiliates, I would like to take this opportunity to
thank you for your support and contribution, not just to
SIYAZI but to the transport sector as a whole. I can say
with conviction that we have done many great things
for this industry, which we have proudly documented in
these pages and that I hope you will enjoy!

Here’s to the next 25 years of SIYAZI!
