The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in the Northern Cape Region welcomes the Cabinet’s announcement of Karabelo Mojanaga as the Regional Executive Manager (REM) effective from September 2025.
Mojanaga’s responsibilities will be to provide strategic leadership and operational oversight, ensuring the effective and dignified delivery of social security services across the province, including managing financial planning, budgeting, supply chain management, and risk controls.
Her appointment underscores SASSA’s commitment to capable and responsive leadership that places beneficiaries at the heart of service delivery.
She brings a strong track record of public service leadership with experience in executive roles such as Senior Manager: Management Accounting at the Northern Cape Department of Health and Chief Financial Officer at the Provincial Treasury.
Mojanaga graduated from the University of South Africa with a B.Compt Degree and later obtained a Post-Graduate Diploma in Business Administration from the University of the Free State. She has also completed a certificate course on Africa’s Political Economy through the Thabo Mbeki African Leadership Institute. She is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Business Administration at the University of the Free State.
Responding to her appointment, stated: “I am deeply honoured to be entrusted with leading SASSA in the Northern Cape Province. This role is both a responsibility and a privilege — to ensure that our beneficiaries receive services that are accessible, efficient, delivered with dignity, speed and care. I look forward to working hand in hand with our dedicated staff, communities and stakeholders to strengthen service delivery, restore trust and ultimately change lives for the better.”
From 1 November to 2024, Mojanaga acted as REM until her official appointment.
During her tenure as Acting REM, the Northern Cape was crowned the top-performing SASSA region in the country, achieving 13 out of 14 Annual Performance Plan (APP) targets — a 93% overall performance score, the highest nationwide.
In the first quarter (April to June 2025) of the current 2025/2026 financial year, the Northern Cape once again emerged as the top performer nationally, achieving all 11 APP targets — translating into a remarkable 100% performance.
SASSA in the Northern Cape pledges its full support to Mojanaga as she assumes this vital leadership role and continues to build a strong, client-focused social security system in the province.
