Mogapi Mogapaesi Foundation

The Mogapi Mogapaesi Foundation recently hosted a 5-days capacity-building workshop for School Governing Body (SGB) members from Quintile 1–3 schools in Moses Kotane and Thabazimbi Local Municipalities with it's strategic partner, Siyanda Bakgatla Platinum Mine.

The workshop focused on Emotional Intelligence, Governance, and Financial Planning & Management. A key finding was that nearly 90% of SGB members do not have post-school qualifications, yet they are entrusted with critical leadership and financial responsibilities. Many Chairpersons lack formal leadership skills, and Treasurers often have no financial background.

Encouragingly, participants openly acknowledged these gaps and expressed the need for structured support. We strongly recommend the development of compulsory, standardized training for all SGB members to strengthen leadership, governance, and financial accountability in our schools.

Mogapi Mogapaesi Foundation hosted its annual School Governing Body (SGB) Leadership Development Workshop in partnership with Siyanda Bakgatla Platinum Mine. The programme is designed to strengthen governance structures by equipping SGB members with the requisite leadership competencies, ethical grounding, and administrative capacity necessary to effectively manage and sustain high-performing schools within the jurisdiction of Moses Kotane and Thabazimbi Local Municipality.
