💬Participant Feedback| Women In Leadership Development Programme "My expectation for attending the Women Leadership Programme at Regenesys Business School is to strengthen my strategic leadership and decision-making skills so I can lead with greater impact within the Region, particularly within my area of work which is Communication and Marketing and the communities we serve. I look forward to gaining practical tools in areas like ethical leadership, stakeholder engagement, and change management that I can apply directly to service delivery challenges. I also expect to learn from diverse women leaders, build a supportive professional network, and return with actionable strategies to foster collaboration across different spheres of government SASSA, DSD, and NDA, ensuring we deliver an inclusive, efficient basket of services that upholds dignity for all beneficiaries. Ke a leboga 🙏"- Ms Sesame Kgabi, SASSA Gauteng Region [Ms Kgabi (centre) is flanked by Ms Zodwa Mvulane, SASSA Executive Manager: Corporate Services (left) and Ms Kgomotso Seeletse from Regenesys Business School (right)] @The_DSD @regenesys_edu

"You are part of a generation of women leaders entrusted with shaping the future of SASSA and contributing to a capable developmental state. This programme is an opportunity, however its value will ultimately be determined by your commitment, your courage, and your willingness to lead differently. "Therefore I implore upon you to lead with integrity, empathy and with strategic intent. Above all, lead with a deep understanding of the communities we serve".- Mr Themba Matlou , SASSA CEO #WomenInLeadershipDevelopmentProgramme #SASSACARES #LeadershipInAction #SASSA20 #FreedomMonth @The_DSD @regenesys_edu

"We recognise the challenges you face - balancing work responsibilities with the intensity of this programme. However, as the Minister of Social Development has noted in multiple engagements, leadership is forged in environments of challenge, not comfort. Your ability to persevere, to learn, and to apply these insights in your daily roles is precisely what will differentiate you as leaders in a demanding public service environment."- Mr Themba Matlou, SASSA CEO #WomenInLeadershipDevelopmentProgramme @regenesys_edu @The_DSD

"The relationship between SASSA and Regenesys Business School is a practical expression of government’s call for stronger collaboration between the public sector and institutions of higher learning. Professionalisation, by definition, requires exposure to rigorous thought leadership, contemporary management practices, and global perspectives. Through this collaboration, SASSA ensures that its women leaders are not only competent in public administration, but are also strategic thinkers capable of navigating complexity, uncertainty, and change."- Mr Themba Matlou, SASSA CEO #WomenInLeadershipDevelopmentProgramme @regenesys_edu

"Professionalising the public service requires more than qualifications, it requires competence, emotional intelligence, ethical courage, and strategic leadership. This Leadership Development Programme is designed precisely to develop those capabilities. "Importantly, this programme is not theoretical. It is grounded in group work, syndicate learning, real‑life case studies, and action learning projects, directly responding to current organisational challenges within SASSA."- Mr Themba Matlou, SASSA CEO #WomenInLeadershipDevelopmentProgramme #SASSACARES #SASSA20 @regenesys_edu

📍Sandton, Gauteng| Women In Leadership Development Programme "As SASSA, we have taken a conscious decision to prioritise the training and development of women employees across management levels, recognising that gender equality in leadership does not occur organically, it must be intentionally cultivated. This programme is one such intentional intervention."- Mr Themba Matlou, SASSA CEO #SASSAInvestsInWomen #LeadershipInAction #SASSACARES #SASSA20 @regenesys_edu

"The empowerment of women is not an optional initiative, nor is it a symbolic gesture. It is a constitutional imperative, a government priority, and a strategic necessity for any institution committed to inclusive growth and sustainable service delivery".- Mr Themba Matlou, SASSA CEO #WomenInLeadershipDevelopmentProgramme #SASSACARES #SASSA20 #SASSAInvestsInWomen @The_DSD

"This occasion is not simply about the commencement of another cohort; it is about affirming our collective commitment to transformative, ethical, and capable leadership in the South African public service."- Mr Themba Matlou, SASSA CEO #WomenInLeadershipDevelopmentProgramme #SASSA20 #SASSAInvestsInWomen

@OfficialSASSA with regards to Disability Grant applications, I have been at Germiston SASSA five time to apply everytime the Portal is offline. We stand for hours and never get assisted. The manager is supposedly in meetings so who do we complain to?

Today, the Gauteng Region participated in an Integrated Service Delivery Blitz hosted by the Gauteng Department of Social Development at Orlando Communal Hall in Soweto. Staff from the Soweto Local Office provided assistance on the SRD R370, Foster Care Grant, Child Support Grant (CSG) Top-Up, Old Age Grant, Disability Grant, change of method of payment, grant reviews, and other services. #SASSACARES
