SAIMC guest speaker

April 2008 SAIMC

Johan Maartens is the SOX compliance manager at Siemens Business Services in Midrand and will be our next guest speaker at UKZN on 4 June 2008, 17h30 for 18h00. There has been a huge ripple running through the six Councils falling under the Built Environment, ECSA being one of them. The Council for the Built Environment (CBE) who was supposed to administer these Councils, never got off the ground, and now the Dept of Public Works is in the process of creating a Governmental ‘Big Brother’ to fill the void and basically strip all the Councils of their authority. This is going to affect all of us. Johan serves on the SAIMC Council and the Council sub-committee tasked with interfacing with ECSA and handling our Continued Professional Development (CPD) point’s issues. Both those who are registered and those seeking to register must not miss this technology evening.

Johan has attended all the urgent meetings held these last three months on behalf of the SAIMC and able to give us the feedback we need.

The Engineering Act 46 of 2000 still requires all of us to register, the above notwithstanding.
