Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past and present are certain to miss the future.

What cannot be denied is the significance of changes that has been imposed on us all. In this February 2021 issue of the SAEPA, we address change in a unique manner, firstly; by empathizing with everyone who has lost loved ones over the past year as we mourn the loss of 2 great contributors to the evolution express logistics, we also cherish and celebrate their legacy in the opportunities they have created for others.

A tried and tested method of change certainly is to develop ourselves, both personally and professionally. NQF Aligned training does a great job at this. These programmes generally incorporate a variety of topics that contribute towards many aspects of our lives. One of the greater benefits being the work integrated learning components required by these programmes.
Change your life today. Don’t gamble on the future, act now, without delay.
