SayProCMR SayPro 2025 Digital Day

Speech by the SayPro Royal Committee Treasurer : Dipuo Mildred Mamabolo

Honorable Elders, Esteemed Partners, SayPro Leadership, Community Members, and Distinguished Guests,

Good morning to you all, and welcome to SayProCMR SayPro 2025 Digital Day.

It is a great honor to address you today as the Treasurer of the SayPro Royal Committee. On this important occasion, we celebrate not just digital transformation, but the power of planning, partnership, and financial responsibility in building sustainable change for our people.

Digital Progress Requires Responsible Investment

As Treasurer, my role is to ensure that every investment we make through SayPro — in people, platforms, and programs — delivers real, measurable impact for our communities.

Let us be clear: technology is powerful. But technology alone does not change lives. It is how we fund it, manage it, and sustain it that ensures long-term progress.

That is why SayPro’s approach is different. We are not chasing trends. We are building structures that last — with transparency, accountability, and community participation at every step.

Financial Stewardship for Community Empowerment

In 2025, under SayProCMR, we have mobilized and managed resources with integrity. Some key highlights include:

• Equitable allocation of digital learning funds across both rural and urban regions;
• Partnerships with donors and investors who understand the importance of community-led innovation;
• Transparent tracking of resources using digital finance tools — ensuring every rand, franc, and dollar is accounted for;
• And a renewed commitment to financial literacy, helping young people, women, and entrepreneurs better manage their own futures.

Our message is simple: we are not just investing in devices or infrastructure. We are investing in people.

The Role of Traditional Governance in Financial Transparency

The SayPro Royal Committee plays a unique and vital role in this process. As custodians of culture and community trust, we bring:

• Oversight that is rooted in values,
• Stewardship that protects both tradition and progress,
• And leadership that ensures funds are used not just efficiently, but ethically.

Our communities deserve to know where resources go, and how they benefit. SayPro delivers that assurance.

Looking Forward: Sustaining the Digital Future

As we move into the future, our financial focus will be on:

• Expanding inclusive access to digital training and tools,
• Strengthening local economies through digital enterprise support,
• And building community-owned platforms that reinvest in education, health, and entrepreneurship.

We will continue to uphold the highest standards of accountability — because we believe trust is our greatest currency.

In Closing

Let this Digital Day be more than a celebration. Let it be a commitment — to do more, to do better, and to do it together.

I thank the SayPro leadership, our partners, and especially the communities we serve. You are the reason we work, budget, and build with purpose.

Together, let us finance the future we want.

Let us fund a future where every African child has access to opportunity.

Thank you.
May our efforts remain transparent, impactful, and grounded in service.
