Batseta Council of Retirement Funds for South Africa (Batseta) is an industry body that promotes the interests of retirement funds, its Trustees and Principal Executive Officers. We are a professional body recognised by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) that oversees the professional development of Principal Executive Officers and Trustees of retirement funds. Batseta was delegated by the Quality Council for Trades & Occupations (QCTO) to be the Assessment Quality Partner (AQP) for the occupational qualifications for Principal Executive Officers and Trustees
The name “Batseta” was coined by Jabu Mngxekeza, a long-standing employee of Batseta. Our logo and design and very essence comprises of three distinct, yet equally important parts. Firstly, the name. “Batseta” is a Sepedi word meaning advisory council. This is a core focus of ours, being ready to advise the members of this organisation in much the same way that trustees are there to support the members of their fund.
