Even our Executive Director, Yolande Otto, is stepping into Slipper Day spirit while keeping PAFSA moving forward!

Comfy slippers, big heart, and still hard at work for South Africa’s PAs and EAs.

A lovely reminder that making a difference can start with something as simple as showing up, supporting a cause, and wearing your slippers with pride.

Lovely bumping into Vutlhari Ndlovu, EA to the Chief Strategy Officer at GEMS, at the travel workshop hosted at Glenburn Lodge.

Vutlhari was one of the Top 9 Semi-Finalists for South Africa’s PA of the Year Award™ 2025, and it is always special to see our PAFSA family out and about, continuing to connect, grow and represent the profession with such grace.

Once part of the PAFSA journey, always part of the PAFSA family.

We are excited to announce Herkie Du Preez as our keynote speaker for PAFSA Thrive Winter Edition 2026.

With his inspiring talk, “Progress = Happiness: Why Momentum Matters More Than Perfection,” Herkie will explore the power of momentum, resilience, wellbeing and self-worth in today’s fast-paced professional environment.

This keynote is especially relevant for PAs and EAs, who so often carry high expectations, constant pressure, and the need to keep everything moving. A powerful reminder that progress, not perfection, is what truly drives growth.
