PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS 2021

Bhavna Soni (Mrs) PrEng

As IMESA President one of my key mandates is to motivate that ethics be made a compulsory part of the CPD cycle for registration with the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) by requiring registered practitioners to attend an ethics presentation annually during their five-year registration cycle. My husband and two children are qualified medical doctors, and their professional lives are governed by their Hippocratic Oath. In my view, civil engineers should take a similar oath that determines the moral principles for ethical practice since their actions have a direct bearing on civilized society.
