It is with a great sense of responsibility and commitment that I share this first communiqué from the President’s Desk since the appointment of the current ASASWEI Executive Committee. At the outset, we extend our sincere appreciation to the previous Executive Committee, under the leadership of Dr. Poppy Masinga, for their stewardship of the Association and for delivering a successful conference hosted at the University of the Free State in September 2025. Their work has left a firm foundation upon which we now build.
The newly elected Executive Committee is constituted as follows:
President: Prof Mpumelelo Ncube (University of the Free State)
Vice President: Prof Zibonele Zimba (University of Johannesburg)
Secretary: Prof Priscalia Khosa (University of Johannesburg)
Treasurer: Dr Fatima Mmusi (University of Johannesburg)
International Representative: Dr Nevashnee Perumal (Nelson Mandela University)
Governance and Leadership
ASASWEI is governed by an elected Executive Committee serving a defined term in accordance with the Constitution. The Executive Committee provides strategic leadership, ensures constitutional compliance, and advances the Association’s mandate nationally and internationally.
Professor Mpumelelo E. Ncube
