During the SAACI Annual Congress in July 2024, the Southern African events industry came together to talk about the future of the #MICE industry and how it can go #beyondeventing. On the sidelines of the event, patron member South Africa National Conventions Bureau (SANCB) conducted interviews with some of the leaders in attendance, starting with our chairman Jaques Fouche. "In South Africa, there are lots of opportunities to conference in conventional ways, as well as in unconventional ways – outside in the bush with beautiful nature and great weather all around," he said, encouraging international organisations to host their events here.

#GLOBALSOUTHALERT – : #BANK STANDS TO LOOSE FOR FAILURE TO KEEP PROPER RECORD OF CUSTOMER ACCOUNT TRANSACTIONS – "Any bank which fails to keep proper records of accounts cannot sustain an ascertainable claim against a customer. ( See: Ezekiel Osugo Angwenyi & Another Vs. National Industrial Credit Bank Limited (2007) eKLR ]" FOR MORE DETAILS: https://lnkd.in/ebvEpjNW In Excellent Assorted Manufacturers Ltd & Anor Vs DFCU Bank Limited & Anor, Pg 81, Hon. Mr. Justice Boniface Wamala had the following important observation on that point as cited below: . "It appears to me that the use of the URA receipt to explain this transaction is an attempt by the 1st Defendant to use any available documents that appear to be proximate in time to explain certain transactions even when there is no nexus between the documents. I find this trend unacceptable. Simply because a payment was done around the time the queried transaction was effected cannot be used as evidence to explain the query. Relying on a decision to which this court was referred by Counsel for the Plaintiffs, I agree that a Court of law cannot determine issues of accounts based on guesswork.
