I am Sibulele Mapekula a newly promoted Senior Manager at MASA and have been with the firm for three and a half years now.

At the time, I was very sceptical joining a newly established firm barely a year and a half year old and trading in an environment partially monopolised by the big four audit firms. But to my delightful surprise, I experienced a small firm with big hearts and ambitions, a firm that shares my values for growing talent, assisting the less privileged, a firm with an ambition to grow through professionalism, providing the best value to clients, and values ethical behaviour.    

MASA through the leadership team, has helped and is still continuing to help me structure & shape my professional career and vision, providing me with extensive exposure not only in Internal and External audit but to various other advisory services. MASA has continuously recognised and rewarded my hard efforts and that of my team. And for all of this, I am greatly appreciative.

My name is Tebogo Thibedi, a 3rd Year Trainee at MASA. When I applied to undergo my training in 2021, I could not know how much I would grow both as an individual and a professional. As anyone at MASA can attest, it is a tremendous honor to be part of the A-Team because it has given us direct access to our excellent leadership from whom I draw the inspiration and motivation to a become CA(SA) with purpose and integrity. In my short time at MASA, I have been exposed to clients of varying size and industries including financial services, retail, listed and unlisted entities as well as public entities to name a few. Through my various engagements and interactions with the A-Team, I have learnt that being a CA(SA) is more than being a competent individual, it is also about building and managing relationships and finding ways to add value, which one can only do when they care. I intend to always carry this lesson in all my professional and personal relationships.
