Mr Njabulo Mabuza
I graduated with an Advanced Diploma
in Financial Management in 2020 and
joined the FASSET team as an Intern in
February 2022 after participating in a TV
Show called The Chair. The journey has
been spontaneous and challenging, but
because of hard work and dedication I was
permanently employed as a Learnership
Administrator at FASSET as of
1 October 2022. Through the projects and
wellness activities provided by FASSET,
I strongly believe that I have received
the support and motivation to assist the
company in adding value and making the
future count. Working as a FASSET Intern
was inspiring, motivating and encouraging.
I was reporting to my line manager who is
also my mentor – Ms Mamarothi Mathibe,
FASSET Programme Manager.
The journey was incredibly challenging,
however through mentorship, support and
coaching from all departments within
FASSET, I overcame all the obstacles,
difficulties and made my future count.
Make the future count.
• FASSET established the women’s and men’s
forums where the committees will engage on
socio-economic matters of grieve concern. This
will work as an outlet for staff.
• To promote a healthy workforce and creative
outlet, it was also decided that FASSET would
establish a soccer team, netball team and choir
which will commence in the 2023/24 Financial
Year.
• FASSET ensured that staff celebrated key
calendar days such as Heritage Day where staff
dressed in traditional attire and brought a dish
from their chosen tribe for all to enjoy.
Ms Silindile Zulu
My name is Silindile Zulu and I graduated
with a BCom Accounting degree in
2020. I joined FASSET in March, 2022
as a Programmes Quality Assurance
(PQA) Administrator Intern and on 1
October I was permanently employed as
a Learnerships Administrator. My journey
with FASSET has been incredible. I have
gained many skills from my colleagues
and improved a lot on my negotiating and
problem-solving skills, as we deal with that
on a day-to-day basis with stakeholders.
Working at FASSET, gave me the
experience of working in a good
environment as everyone is welcoming
and always willing to assist. The mental
health awareness campaigns that FASSET
hosts help us a lot as we learn how to cope
under stressful working conditions. The
workshops that are usually organised by the
Human Resources department really helps
with career development.
