ABOUT THE COMPANY – SAIMI
The South Africa International Maritime Institute (SAIMI) was established in 2014, by a joint effort between South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) and Nelson Mandela University (NMU), partnered with stakeholders from universities, sector education and training authorities, further education and training institutes, the maritime industry, government and representatives from the African maritime sector.
The SAIMI is committed to advocating and promoting the maritime sector in South Africa, as well as coordinating education, skills, training, research and development, and serving as the knowledge hub on maritime matters.
The SINDISWA CAROL ‘TU’ NHLUMAYO MERIT BURSARY was formed in order to provide an opportunity for young females from previously disadvantaged, designated groups to pursue a career in maritime related fields. The bursary was formed in recognition of Ms Sindiswa Nhlumayo, the previous Executive Head of the Centre for Maritime Excellence at the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA), who received many accolades for her work in the industry.
