South Africa alumni embrace leadership

Christel House South Africa’s Career Development team welcomed alumni leaders back to campus for the first in-person alumni leadership engagement of 2026 with a session focused on developing the next generation of community change-makers. Participants explored practical tools to lead with clarity, purpose, and accountability as they support the broader CH South Africa alumni network. Reflecting on the experience, Class of 2024 alumna Aatiqa Philander shared that the session reinforced her belief that leadership is ultimately about uplifting others. The event reflects Christel House South Africa’s continued investment in alumni as emerging professionals and community leaders who remain connected, supported, and equipped for their careers. The alumni expressed a heartfelt thank you to Francoise Gallet, Career Employment Coach Aretha Farao, and CH Europe Board Member Justine Gevisser (fourth from the left) for making this meaningful session possible.
