Midrand, South Africa – The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) is proud to announce that it has officially been recognised as a Top Employer for 2025 by the Top Employers Institute, a globally respected authority that celebrates excellence in workforce management practices. This prestigious recognition further solidifies SACAA’s status as an employer of choice in South Africa and beyond.
The Top Employers Institute conducted a rigorous evaluation process, assessing SACAA’s human capital practices. The comprehensive assessment required SACAA to provide extensive data and evidence of its human capital strategies, which was validated through an in-depth review of the organisation’s practices. The process not only reviewed SACAA’s practices but also measured their impact and consistency across the organisation.
“We are incredibly proud of this achievement. It reflects our unwavering commitment to creating a world-class work environment, fostering growth, and offering continuous opportunities for development for all our employees,” said the SACAA Board Chairperson, Mr Ernest Khosa.
“This certification also reinforces SACAA’s dedication to fostering an inclusive and collaborative work culture based on diversity, equity, and inclusion. It highlights the SACAA’s success in creating an environment where employees feel valued, empowered, and inspired.”
The SACAA’s Director of Civil Aviation, Ms Poppy Khoza, expressed her appreciation, saying: “Our commitment goes beyond simply serving the people of South Africa through aviation regulatory oversight. Just as the SACAA strives to be the best regulator for the public, we see ourselves at service to our employees. We work hard to create a healthy, supportive work environment where the employees’ wellbeing is prioritised, allowing them to deliver the highest possible service. When our employees feel valued and cared for, they are in the best position to serve the people of South Africa.”
Ms Khoza attributed this and other successes of the national civil aviation regulator to the vision shared by the Ministry of Transport, the organisation’s Board of Directors, Management, and all the SACAA employees.
“Their passion, energy, and commitment to excellence have made this and all our other achievements possible, and I extend my deepest gratitude to all of them,” she concluded.
As the SACAA celebrates this milestone, the organisation remains focused on continuous improvement, striving to further enhance its employee experience and strengthen its reputation as a leading destination for top talent in the aviation industry.
