The SAIChE KZN member group held its
regional AGM and dinner on 6 November
2015 at the Riverside Hotel, Durban. This
is an annual event organised by the KZN
SAIChE committee for its members. The
event began with the AGM where the an-
nual report was presented by Chairperson,
Simphiwe Mazibuko. The report included
feedback on the branch activities for the
past year.
The financial report was also presented to
members by the treasurer. SAIChE KZN then
elected its new committee. The SAIChE KZN
branch committee for 2015/2016 consists
of: Simphiwe Mazibuko, Zanele Madinane,
Maggie Chetty, Nokuthula Danisa, Thokozani
Sikhakhane, David Lokhat, FezileMaphumulo,
Ziphathele Chamane and Bavelile Hlongwa.
The keynote address at the subsequent
dinner was delivered by Dr Lakesh Maharaj
andMsKaressaPillay, both fromUmgeniWater.
The presentation consisted of a concise look
at the strategies for water supply in the area,
including the potential for desalination.
The winners and participants of the
SAIChE KZN branch Research Day, held
earlier in the year, also received their awards
at the dinner.
We would like to take this opportunity to
thank our members for their support.
