Apolitical Academy Southern Africa was founded in 2017, and accepted its first cohort of Public Service Fellows in 2018.
The Public Service Fellowship Programme is a nine-month intensive development and training programme, comprising of seven intensive seminars for emerging leaders between the ages of 20 and 45 who want to transition to leadership roles in government and the public service.
