Aims and Objectives

SAPOA is committed to protecting the interests of the commercial and industrial property sectors, in terms of ownership, management and development.

SAPOA's objectives are based on the principles of the free enterprise system as the only workable economic system and the inalienability of property ownership, not only for its members but also for the future of South Africa, and its competitiveness in the world arena.

SAPOA's aims and objectives include:

• Maintaining a unique organisation which encourages its members to share their expertise through active participation in the association;
• Fostering key relationships while maintaining government acceptability;
• Maintaining a non-political bias while participating in governmental legislative structures;
• Contributing through excellence in educational programmes and setting quality standards;
• Providing an efficient forum for responding to change.

Since its inception, education has been the cornerstone of SAPOA, which is the frontrunner in developing property courses for the disadvantaged sector of the South African community.
