Saica's celebrates decade of excellence at this year's Top 35-Under-35 Awards
Launched in 2014, this competition has consistently grown in stature, receiving a record number of entries and nominations this year. Rigorous judging rounds have led to the selection of the final 35 individuals who have demonstrated exceptional dedication and leadership, not only in their workplaces but also in their communities.
Freeman Nomvalo, CEO of Saica, praised the finalists for their remarkable contributions, stating: "This year's competition is particularly significant as it coincides with the 10th anniversary of the Top 35-under-35 Awards. We continue to be amazed at the achievements of our young members who actively aim to make a difference, not only in the workplace but also in the communities where they live and work. These awards recognise individuals who are making a significant impact on the businesses they lead and proactively shaping communities, economies, and society. Saica takes immense pride in its heritage of nurturing young talent and fostering excellence."
Nomvalo emphasised the critical role that young CA(SA) professionals play in the sustainability and economic success of South Africa especially at a time when Saica and the CA(SA) designation have been recognised as the number one most trusted in the world, according to Edelman DXI research, further solidifying the reputation of South African chartered accountants on the global stage. "Each and every one of the finalists are difference makers and are therefore in a position to save livelihoods and carry out their duties in a manner that is of national interest. We acknowledge all Top 35-under-35 entrants whose hard work, mindset, impact, and integrity inspire all of us.
