A sponsor partnership between the Foundation of fruit export agent, Capespan and the shipping line, Safmarine, recently made the Siphila Sonke Trust in Grabouw the proud owners of a converted 12-metre freight container, consisting of two administrative/storage areas and a large room for craft and skills training.

In a deal extending its reach in the Far East, Capespan Group Ltd will be taking full ownership of subsidiary Metspan Hong Kong Ltd.
