Started in 2010, the Thuthuka Pledge Campaign calls on CAs(SA) to make an annual, tax deductable, Pledge of R500 that also goes towards the funding for the Thuthuka Bursary Fund.” Mulder explains “The MySchool Card initiative is intended to support but not replace the ongoing Thuthuka Pledge Campaign. At a current cost to SAICA of R35 000 a year we require R10.5 million over 3 years to fund each new intake, the additional costs being funded by a NFSAS loan. Our overall annual target is 400 students. Help us reach our target to take in an additional 100 first year students every year. All you have to do is add the Thuthuka Bursary Fund as a beneficiary. You too can change a prospective CAs (SA) life and help transform and grow the chartered accountancy profession with a swipe of your MySchool Card. ![]() The objective of the TBF is to transform the demographics of the chartered accountancy profession to reflect those of the country in terms of race and gender, and provide educational support to African and Coloured students.Ĭhantyl Mulder, SAICA’s Senior Executive for Professional Development - Transformation & Growth says, “We currently have 975 fully funded students at eight TBF universities studying towards qualifying as CAs (SA) of which 819 are undergraduates and 156 are at the post-graduate/ honours level.” She goes on, “With the funds raised through the MySchool Card and Thuthuka Pledge Campaign we hope to annually place an additional 100 students on a TBF approved and supplemented undergraduate programme.” Remember you can only use your Woolworths card at Woolworths stores, but your MySchool card can be used at various partners.Thuthuka bursaries include full tuition fees, accommodation, food, books, pocket money and even mentoring for qualifying African and Coloured students studying towards a career in chartered accountancy.
