Thank you to everyone who attended our first training of the year, “Ignite the Leader Within.”
We unpacked the fundamentals of leadership — what it truly is, different leadership styles and how to apply them, the power of emotional intelligence, and how to lead beyond hierarchy.
Special thanks to Mr. Yamkela- D (SME CEOs Group) for sharing practical insights on leading beyond title, emphasizing clarity as the foundation of leadership. Key reminders: a diary and pen are a leader’s first tools, followed by a strong network and community. And biographies often teach more than theory alone.
📅 Our next session is on 1 May. Stay connected via our website and social media.
Let’s keep igniting the leader within. 🔥

The recent comments by Cyril Ramaphosa during visits to should not offend the planning profession—they should challenge .
South Africa does not only face a capacity issue in town planning; it faces a structural and directional one. Our system remains largely , while , , , and are still weakly embedded in many municipal By-laws and land-use schemes.

Planning practice has too often been reduced to compliance and approval management. What we need more of are hashtag —professionals who go beyond enforcement to actively propose innovation in alignment with global frameworks emerging from , , and finance agendas.
City of Cape Town stands apart not because it has more planners, but because it has stronger institutional coordination and a clearer focus on climate resilience. Other BRICS cities show similar patterns: follows innovation, not process alone.
The future of planning in South Africa lies in prevention over reaction, innovation over status quo management, and empowering planners as true agents of change.

Our deepest condolences to the families who lost loved ones in the recent floods. These events remind us that planning is ultimately about human safety and dignity.
