The Transport Forum is the proud guest of Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) and Transnet
National Ports Authority (TNPA) on Thursday 25 March 2010.

We have been invited to host the April 2010 Transport Forum SIG on the premises of
the Port of Durban. The facilities of TNPA have been made available. Because of all
the public holidays in April, it has been decided to host the April session on
25 March 2010.

Many thanks to TPT and TNPA  !!!!

from OR Tambo Airport (Johannesburg), and will return on Friday 26 March 2010.
24 March 2010 will be at your own leisure (and cost) to rest and explore the city of
Durban. A professional tour guide will accompany the group.

Most of the overheads, including your attendance at the event on the 25th, will be
covered by the Transport Forum’s sponsors (mentioned above), leaving you with a small
contribution of R450 (including VAT) (even if you are not taking the bus).

 Important Information

Please take note that there are only 35 seats available in the boardroom. Should you plan
to attend, please act promptly to avoid disappointment. Please subscribe first
