    Discussions were held about the importance of the SAAPPT for its members, what it does for its members, and how other technicians can benefit from the association when they join.
    The website was also rebuilt in the past year, and social media was also discussed. All members were encouraged to post articles on the facebook page.

    We strive to form a close bond with one another and to inform every customer that it is very important, now more than ever, to draw a line between qualified and unqualified technicians, so that they could get the best care for their instruments.
    We also invite other good technicians to join us not only to increase our membership, but also to grow as an organization, and to learn from one another.

    We want to stand together to offer the best-quality work tuning, repairing, restoring pianos throughout South Africa and beyond.
    We also want to join hands with other international organizations.
    There is always something we can learn from other people.

  • In Memoriam

    It is with great sadness that we have to inform that Wicus Kruger passed away
    on the 8th of August this year.
    He lived in Rustenburg, and had many happy loyal customers throughout North-West and other provinces, who still have fond memories of his good-natured personality.
    We will all miss him.
    He was part of the Association for many years and helped serve on the committee before he passed away.
