Testimonials
What people say about SASA
I would like to extend my heartfelt endorsement to the South African Society of Archivists for their exceptional work in promoting scholarship and professional advancement within the field of records management and archival science. I also encourage all professionals in our field to actively engage with and support the Society’s endeavours.
Forget Chaterera-Zambuko (PhD)
SASA’s revamped website is a refreshing testimony of its relentless efforts to serve as the professional mouthpiece of South Africa’s archivists and records managers. This website also addresses an obvious void characterized by the worrying absence of African heritage entities on the world wide web.
Professor Lekoko Kenosi
Since everything is an archive to me, SASA’s advocacy for curation of archives to keep memory alive is something supremely important not just to me but to the ARM fraternity at large.
