Hey UJ🧡!

It can be difficult to stay motivated while managing the demands of your studies, as well as personal or emotional challenges. Motivation is not about feeling inspired all the time; rather, it is about taking small, consistent steps towards your goals, even on difficult days.

The Centre for Psychological Services and Career Development (PsyCaD) at the University of Johannesburg encourages you to build positive habits, maintain perspective, and seek support when needed. Setbacks are a natural part of the journey, and with grit and perseverance, you can bounce back even stronger. Stay inspired, believe in yourself, and keep moving forward—one step at a time.

Prof Erica Derbyshire recently attended the 2026 Student Women Economic Empowerment Programme (SWEEP) TransformHER "Living Lab Through HER Story" national three-day event, where she served as the lead organiser for the TransformHER Consortium event and facilitated a skills workshop on the Psychology of Financial Success.

At the heart of the event was a shared belief that sustainable change within South Africa's entrepreneurial landscape happens through dialogue, collaboration, partnership, and co-creation. The immersive event brought together about 250 students and academics from across South Africa, entrepreneurs, NGOs, industry leaders, and partners from South Africa and the United Kingdom. The event was facilitated by the TransformHER Consortium, in partnership with the SWEEP, the British Council, Entrepreneurship Development in Higher Education (EDHE), and Universities South Africa (USAf).

Prof Derbyshire was joined by Dr Mamorena Matsoso from the Department of Business Management, who co-organised the event, and three outstanding UJ College of Business and Economics Ambassadors, Alexa Rutte, Nika Mendez, and Simphiwe Mncube. The Department also celebrates Akona Gazi-Babana, whose powerful motivational address inspired attendees throughout the event.

The Department of Accountancy is proud to see its academics contributing to initiatives that empower women, foster entrepreneurship, and drive sustainable economic transformation.

👀Check out our very own Dr Muneer Hassan

A call to action that aims to leaving a lasting mark on the tax profession is a call to action we urge you to grab with both hands. Following concerns by many members that things simply cannot continue as they have, SAICA has decided to act with urgency. As a result, we will be hosting roundtable events focused on assessing the sustainability of the tax profession. These will be hosted in various provinces and are aimed at highlighting emerging trends shaping the tax profession and broader business environment, exploring shared challenges across the profession and the interdependencies as raised by SAICA members, and proposing possible solutions that will contribute to the sustainability of the tax profession (which can form the basis for SAICA’s tax advocacy and engagement strategy on this matter). If you operate in the tax space and are interested in sharing your views and experiences, please feel free to join us.

The purpose of these events is to take the first of many steps in formulating a response to member concerns, under the guidance of the SAICA National Tax Committee. They are not intended to be another discussion forum with no outcome but rather aim to create a structured space for honest reflection, practical solutions, and collective action on the sustainability of the tax profession.

Some of you may understandably feel sceptical. Many members have experienced years of increasing pressure, administrative complexity, system challenges, and professional fatigue. But disengagement cannot be the answer – that is not the culture or history of our profession. When circumstances become difficult, we do not step back — we step forward. We assess where we are, understand how we got here, and work together to determine what must change. As such, these events aim to harness the collective wisdom of the profession and develop a clear, credible path forward. We cannot guarantee immediate change or a perfect outcome but urge you to remember that meaningful change has never started with certainty – it starts with commitment, participation, and a willingness to act. There will be different perspectives across the tax profession; there will also be legitimate frustrations. The challenge is channelling those views into a shared professional position and a practical plan that can be taken forward with purpose. Every member’s voice matters; each contribution can help identify the pressures facing the profession, the solutions that are needed, and the actions required to build a stronger and more sustainable future.

Take the first step and together let us shape the change our profession needs – it cannot happen on its own. Further details on event dates, locations, and desired objectives are contained below:
