Agenda & Discussions

1. Handover of Bookings (21 January 2026)

• The Development Department officially handed over all course bookings to Education on 21 January 2026.
• This handover marked the start of Education managing approvals, scheduling, and learner coordination.

2. NeftalyCDR Request to Education

• NeftalyCDR requested Education to initiate approval processes for all bookings in line with Neftaly policies and procedures.

3. Approval Challenges & Solutions

• It was noted that Neftaly currently does not have Marketing Royalty authority to approve bookings, creating a delay in processing.
• Resolution:
  • Ntshuxeko Shihangu advised that Jeffry Tapina should submit the booking approval requests.
  • If the requests do not go through, NeftalyCDR will escalate the request to NeftalyCER for approval.
  • All parties reaffirmed commitment to following organisational policies.

4. Communication & Documentation

• Linah Ralepelle instructed that after the meeting, the minutes must be shared with the Neftaly Chief Monitoring Officer.

5. Monthly Submissions & Reporting

• It was agreed that every month, both NeftalyCDR and NeftalyCHAR must ensure submission of:

  • Client lists
  • Bookings and orders

This will improve compliance, monitoring, and reporting across departments.

6. Certificates for 2025 Learners

• Ntshuxeko Shihangu suggested that NeftalyCHAR prepare all certificates for 2025 (January – December).
• Development will then contact previous students to confirm receipt of their certificates.
• Development will create a checklist of:
  • Students who have received certificates
  • Students who have completed courses but not yet received certificates

7. SAQA Accreditation & Course Validity

• It was agreed that Development and Education departments will hold a joint meeting to:
  • Review SAQA accreditation expiry dates for all courses
  • Ensure compliance and timely renewals

8. 2026 Classroom Operations & Timetable

• Education Department will develop a 2026 classroom timetable and operational plan.
• This will guide learner intake, facilitator schedules, and course delivery structures.

9. Economic Sustainability & Donations

• Both Development and Education departments agreed to collaborate on:
  • Economic sustainability strategies
  • Donation mobilisation plans
• It was resolved that only Chiefs and Managers will attend these strategic planning meetings.
