10 YEARS OF ALL-ROUND SUPPORT AND DEDICATION – THANDEKA SKHOSANA (SSP MENTORSHIP MANAGER)

Last year Thandeka Skhosana, the SSP ALL-ROUNDER, celebrated her 10th anniversary! Thandeka joined SSP in 2012 and immediately played a vital role of being a cross-sectional team player. Ten years have flown by so fast yet Thandeka remains helpful, pleasant, and hard working! Her commitment to the organisation and the support of the team through crucial times can never be understated. Thandeka is often called the voice of reason and the glue which keeps all the SSP parts synchronized and working together and yes, she is all of this and so much more!
A mother, wife and a sister, Thandeka is also the SSP ‘go-to-person’! Thandeka’s talent and expertise can be seen in her delivery and management of the Mentorship Programme, from dealing with parents, scholars and juggling the growing pool of mentors – her work ethic is formidable. As we celebrate 10 years with her, we trust that the next 10 years of working with her will be even more memorable.

CELEBRATING 8 YEARS OF DEDICATION AND CARE FOR SSP SCHOLARS IN THE EASTERN CAPE – SHERI-ANN VAN DYK (SSP REGIONAL COORDINATOR)

It almost seemed predestined that the Eastern Cape graduation would happen on the same day that Sheri Ann Van Dyk celebrated her eighth year at SSP. She has been successfully managing the SSP EC office since March 2016. When asked what keeps her going, she replies: “My interaction with the kids is what keeps me going!” As a mother of two daughters, she says it is important that her girls know that she will always support them. This is the same principle and approach she applies to her work as a SPO. After a successful graduation this year on 01 February 2023, she was surprised by colleagues and scholars, parents and the partner school community with a heartfelt ‘thank you’ for the amazing work she does in Eastern Cape. We wish you many more happy years and we thank you for your quietly determined care for SSP Scholars.
