As a mandate-driven organisation, SEIFSA derives its mandate from the SEIFSA Council, which is an assembly of SEIFSA-affiliated employer Associations. At that forum, member Associations debate matters among themselves and the emerging consensus becomes SEIFSA’s mandate.

The Associations themselves get their mandates from the respective companies that are their members. That is when each company within the SEIFSA fold has an opportunity to get its voice heard and to influence the Association’s mandate.

SEIFSA is a Federation celebrating its 75th Anniversary this year. Companies are not direct members of SEIFSA. Instead, they are indirect or affiliate members through their respective Associations.

Our 23 member Associations are:

  • Association of Electrical Cable Manufacturers of South Africa
  • Association of Metal Service Centres of South Africa
  • Cape Engineers and Founders’ Association (CEFA)
  • Constructional Engineering Association (South Africa) (CEA)
