Yesterday I had the honor to meet my mentor & long time friend, Pravin Gordhan in Pretoria for a private lunch.
He is a legend former ANC fighter/anti-apartheid activist, former Minister of Finance, former Commissioner of the South Africa Revenue Service (SARS) & the longest serving Chairperson of the World Customs Organization (WCO). In the WCO we developed the SAFE Framework of Standards, AEO & the Capacity Building agenda together.
PG is now Minister of Public Enterprises in the RSA Government. How much I have learned from this role model public official, leader & person. He is an outsanding one of a kind man. I am proud to call him my friend.
Found this interesting magazine article on a plane. ’The Future is Now: Social Media is increasingly driving touridm trends’.
It’s not only tourism, for many industries SoMe is becoming a real driver of developments.
Yesterday I had an execellent meeting in Pretoria with Beyers Theron, Head of Customs Border Operations, Port Entry and Customs Compliance at South African Revenue Service (SARS).
Beyers & I go long way back & he is one of the customs leaders I respect most in the world.
SARS is lucky to have him & his vision.
