Leadership Transition at FES South Africa

Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung South Africa marks leadership transition.

As we bid farewell to our directors, Uta Dirksen and Sebastian Sperling, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for their dedication, visionary leadership, and deep commitment to social justice during their time at the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung South Africa.

As we bid them farewell, we welcome Kathrin Meissner as the new director of FES South Africa. With a strong track record and a passion for feminism, progressive trade unions, and social democracy, Kathrin steps into this role ready to continue advancing our mission of democracy, social justice, and progressive internationalism.

We extend our gratitude to our partners, allies, and friends for their continued support and invite you to join us in welcoming Kathrin Meissner. Together, we remain committed to advancing a just, democratic, and equitable society.
