Dear SAMF Stakeholder,
It is a privilege to introduce myself as the new Executive Director of the South African Mathematics Foundation. I bring to this role more than three decades of experience as a mathematics educator and academic, including my most recent position as Head of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the Tshwane University of Technology.
Having served on SAMF’s Board of Directors for nearly a decade, I am deeply familiar with the Foundation’s mission and proud to now lead its efforts to advance mathematics education and advocacy across the country.
My priorities for the years ahead include strengthening the training of mathematics teachers, broadening access to our projects through targeted support for struggling learners, and ensuring the Foundation’s long-term financial sustainability. I also believe it is important to clarify that SAMF’s work complements—and does not compete with—that of other organisations working to build capacity in the mathematical sciences.
Thank you for the role you continue to play in supporting SAMF’s impact. I look forward to engaging with you as we take the Foundation’s work into its next chapter.
Warm regards,
Prof Seithuti Moshokoa
Executive Director
South African Mathematics Foundation
