The Co-Chairpersons and Treasurer are elected annually from the Council in terms of the SASFED Constitution, which guides that individuals may not join SASFED directly, but only via bona fide industry bodies.

The member organisations make decisions via their representative SASFED Council member.  The Council meets regularly to discuss industry issues between various industry organisations.

Election of Office Bearers

Council members are appointed to serve a single term at a time, but may be successively appointed for an unlimited number of terms, except for Co-Chairpersons who may not serve more than three years in succession.

Mandated representatives of member affiliates of SASFED may be changed at any time at the prerogative of the affiliated member and so actual council members may change at any time during the year. The Co-Chairpersons and Treasurer, who shall not be connected in relation to each other, will accept the fiduciary responsibility for the organisation.

The Council elect from among their number at least the following office-bearers on an annual basis at the AGM:

  • Co-Chairpersons
  • Treasurer
