Section titled “Follow-Up Email - Post January 30 Demo Presentation”

To: Dan Matsapola (dan.matsapola@sansa.gov.za) CC: Thandile Vuntu From: Nhlanhla Mnyandu (nhlanhla@isutech.co.za) Subject: SANSA Platform Demo Follow-Up & Accelerator Corrections Date: February 2026 Status: DRAFT - Pending Review


Dear Dan,

Thank you for your time on the 30th of January, and for allowing your colleagues to continue the session after you had to step away. We appreciate their engagement and the questions they raised - it helped us understand the team’s perspective.

I want to address the terminology discrepancies you flagged during the demonstration. You were absolutely right - the accelerator labels in the system did not align with the definitions from your December presentation. We have since corrected this across the entire platform:

  • A1: Wealth Creation (was incorrectly labelled as Financial Literacy)
  • A2: Financial Literacy (was incorrectly labelled as Business Skills)
  • A3: Investing (was incorrectly labelled as Digital Capabilities)
  • A4: Entrepreneurship (was incorrectly labelled as Innovation Mindset)

The corrections are now reflected in the dashboard, workshop management, educator profiles, certificates, analytics, and all reporting modules at sansa.isutech.co.za. We have also updated the educator count to 460,000 in line with the figures you shared from Minister Gwachube.

We take your framework seriously and want to ensure the platform reflects it precisely. If there are additional alignment points we should address, we welcome that feedback.

Two requests, if I may:

  1. Could you share the names and roles of the colleagues who remained in the meeting? We would like to include them in future correspondence and ensure they have access to the platform for review.

  2. We noticed Thandile may not have been able to attend the full session. Given that the workshop management and CETA certification features are central to his work, would it be possible to schedule a focused session with him? We are happy to work around his availability.

We are ready to discuss next steps whenever it suits your schedule. Would the week of 17-21 February work for a brief follow-up call?

Kind regards,

Nhlanhla Mnyandu Director, iSu Technologies (Pty) Ltd Email: nhlanhla@isutech.co.za Mobile: +27 820600404 Web: www.isutech.co.za

  • Dan left the meeting early for another commitment - not disinterest
  • Colleagues stayed and asked questions - positive engagement signal
  • Thandile’s attendance uncertain - may have been silent observer
  • 12 days since meeting with no follow-up - email should go out ASAP
  • Accelerator terminology fixes should be completed BEFORE sending
