Executive Director

Magauta Mphahlele

Magauta’s extensive experience in credit and general consumer protection spans more than 24 years. The Consumer Protection Act and National Credit Act were conceptualized, consulted on and passed into law under her leadership as the Consumer Law Reform Project Manager at the Department of Trade and Industry. Her role also included managing the transition from the then Micro Finance Regulatory Council to the establishment of the National Credit Regulator. She served as the full-time member of the National Consumer Tribunal.

As the previous CEO of the National Debt Mediation Association, Magauta established strong ties with the credit industry and was able to successfully transition the NDMA into a successful Alternative Dispute Agent company called Ithuseng Credit Solutions (ICS). ICS has since 2013 been working mainly in the mining sector to reduce the abuse of the payroll system by assessing and challenging illegal Garnishee and Administration Orders. ICS also assisted thousands of mineworkers to improve their credit profiles to enable them to qualify for mortgage and vehicle finance through disputing incorrect credit bureau information, credit health and budgeting coaching as well as running debt management workshops.

Before joining SACRRA she was the Chairperson of the Board of the Consumer Goods and Services Ombudsman (CGSO). After the resignation of the CGSO Ombud, Magauta was apointed as the Ombudsman. The CGSO is an Alternative Dispute Resolution Scheme for the Consumer Goods and Services Industry and mediates disputes between suppliers of goods and services and their customers.

She holds an Honors Degree in Applied Linguistics and a Postgraduate Diploma in English Education from Wits University. In 2018 she completed the International Executive Development Program in Developmental Finance offered by Wits University. The IEDP included study tours to Brazil, Ghana, and Tanzania to study best practices in financial inclusion. She put the knowledge gained to good use when she became a Presenter on Ke-Zaka, a Television program that was aired on SABC 2 for 13 episodes. Her role was to provide expert content to the producers, interview Stokvels, provide expert advice and link the Stokvels with suitable experts to assist them to transform from consumption to investment and wealth creation vehicles. The Stokvel groups included a mix of Burial Societies, Investment Groups, Cooperatives and Savings Groups.
