Tapiwa Samanga on a mission to build South Africa’s manufacturing future
Tapiwa Samanga, chief executive of the Production Technologies Association of South Africa (PtSA), is on a mission to build a new generation of skilled employees who can position South Africa’s manufacturing industry on the global stage.
He says his transition point to industrial development was in 2009, when he joined the South African department of trade, industry and competition (DTI) as director: capital equipment and allied services.
Under Samanga’s leadership, it is sharpening that mission: shaping policy with government, benchmarking against international standards and driving skills development through global networks such as the International Special Tooling and Machining Association (Istma), where he serves as Istma Africa chair.
