The Association of South African Black Actuarial Professionals (ASABA) North-West University Chapter won the Best University Chapter Award on the 4th November 2021.
The Association was established in March 2005 to address the death of actuarial and quantitative skills amongst previously disadvantaged communities in South Africa, by initiating a mutually beneficial set of skills development interventions.
ASABA was created to tackle these issues directly through the commitment and establishment of three key functions: a holistic mentoring capability; vacation-work placement scheme; and a duty to make the actuarial profession in South Africa more accessible and inclusive of all races. The chapter was started in March 2021 and has about 600 members who are studying Quantitative Risk Management, Actuarial Science, and Data Mining.
At the helm of this chapter is Piwokuhle Ngetu, an honour’s student in Quantitative Risk Management and President of the Chapter. She is supported by eight other members who form the chapter’s council.
We chatted to about her about ASABA’s 2021 motto, goals, and being crowned the best.
