Empowering Future Chartered Accountants
Welcome to Gear up for Thuthuka, a remarkable initiative launched in 2023. Started by Khosi Hlongwane, a dedicated SAICA member based in the UK with a passion for youth empowerment. This initiative is driven by our SAICA community’s vision to support aspiring Chartered Accountants by matching personal passions with a meaningful cause. By engaging in various activities to raise funds for the Thuthuka Education Upliftment Fund, we aim to break the cycle of poverty and open doors to opportunities for high-performing learners.
Our goal is to transform the accounting profession to reflect the demographics of South Africa, creating a more inclusive and representative profession. Over the past year and a half, many members and staff have joined the cause by participating in events such as marathons, and even climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, all in support of our cause – to empower young difference makers.
