The South African Actuarial Development Programme (SAADP) proudly announces a significant milestone in its journey towards fostering diversity and excellence in the actuarial profession. Today, SAADP unveils its rebranding initiative, marking a transformative shift in its identity to better reflect its mission, vision, and commitment to empowering black actuarial professionals across South Africa.
Established as an independent, non-profit company with the support of Sasria SOC Limited, SAADP has been steadfast in its dedication to addressing the acute shortage of black actuarial professionals in the country. Through its innovative approach, SAADP has successfully unearthed and harnessed mathematical and analytical talents among black students, guiding them towards lucrative career opportunities in the field of Actuarial Science.

As part of this exciting transformation, SAADP unveils a new logo, website, and brand identity that encapsulates its core values of inclusivity, empowerment, and excellence.
At the helm of this inspiring transformation stands Nthato Selebi, the Executive Director of SAADP. Born in Soweto, raised in Katlehong, and having spent 14 formative years in the Bronx, NY, USA, Nthato brings a wealth of experience, passion, and dedication to youth development and transformation.”We are thrilled to unveil our new identity, which symbolizes our unwavering commitment to fostering diversity and excellence within the actuarial profession,” said Nthato. “This rebranding initiative represents a pivotal moment in our organization’s history, as we continue to expand our reach and empower the next generation of black actuarial professionals.”
The rebranding initiative underscores SAADP’s dedication to driving meaningful change and creating opportunities for underrepresented communities in South Africa. By embracing a fresh identity, SAADP aims to inspire greater participation, collaboration, and innovation within the actuarial field, ultimately contributing to a more diverse and inclusive workforce.
As SAADP embarks on this exciting new chapter, stakeholders, partners, and supporters are invited to join in celebrating this transformative milestone. SAADP aims to shape a future where every aspiring actuary has the resources, support, and opportunities needed to thrive and succeed.
