The effective achievement of the overall transformation objectives for the profession can only be achieved through the consolidated efforts of all stakeholders, from firms to higher education institutes, to the students themselves and to SAICA.
To create a sufficient and sustainable base of appropriate and representative skills will take an enormous effort from all. While not exclusively the solution, large scale skills development initiatives are required to tackle the challenges at each level and between the levels of a candidate's progress. In order to drive this process and to manage and account for the external funding needed to initiate such large scale skills development programmes properly, SAICA established two separate entities.
- The first is the wholly owned Thuthuka Education Upliftment Fund, established in 2002. In 2005, this company was granted Public Benefit Organisation status with a Section 18(A) tax exemption. A separate Board of Directors oversees the governance of the donated funds and the running of this organisation.
- The second entity is the Thuthuka Bursary Fund, a trust emanating out of the CAs Eden Trust, also registered with a Section 18(A) tax exemption and its own Board of Trustees.

"Thuthuka" is a Zulu verb, meaning "to develop", indicating the action-based perspective with which transformation is being driven.
Since its inception in 2002, Thuthuka has grown from one provincially-based project to over 20 projects (counting the DTS/Thuthuka Maths and Science Development Camps each as a separate project – 8 in total) throughout South Africa. The number of potential candidates reached is significant, and the results of the programmes are providing indications of the impact to be made. This has been achieved through Thuthuka's ability to identify the salient barriers and to devise and implement programmes that address these barriers effectively. While growth in projects is imperative, increasing impact, achieving sustainable funding and nationwide expansion remain critical objectives of Thuthuka.
Thuthuka Projects are supported by the Department of Labour's National Skills Fund, Fasset, the Department of Science and Technology, Department of Education along with numerous other private partners and SETAs, particularly Fasset. Further details on the various Thuthuka initiatives are given on this website.
