A New Chapter Begins: Meet SAPVIA’s Governing Committee

Dear Valued Members,

We are proud to announce our newly elected governing committee following the recent Annual General Meeting.

The committee blends continuity and innovation, with Adv. Mtho Xulu ascending from Treasurer to Chairperson, supported by the returning Deputy Chairperson, Mr De Villiers Botha and new Treasurer Ms Nicola Cencelli. The communications team remains under the steady guidance of the Spokesperson Mr Frank Spencer, with Ms Antje Klauss-Vorreiter and Mr Jonathan Frick serving as Deputy Spokespersons.

The association also acknowledges the continued contributions of returning governing committee members, and welcome Mr Mike Mangnall, MD of PNE, strengthening our 10-member team of Solar PV experts representing developers, manufacturers, financiers, and policymakers. They all assume responsibility at a pivotal moment for South Africa’s energy sector, as solar power is poised to play an increasingly central role in the national energy mix.

👏👏Join us in congratulating our new leaders.

Under this new leadership, SAPVIA is positioned to not only maintain but accelerate its critical work in advancing South Africa’s solar revolution. We are confident that their collective expertise, energy and will drive transformative progress in our sector.
