History

Project Management South Africa (currently known as PMSA) was formed in 1997. PMSA was created to fulfill the need for a cross sector forum for practitioners to meet and work together and for a national body to work with local organisations and the South African government in developing effective project management within South Africa.

Due to imperatives for the formation of an autonomous local body, the PMI South Africa Chapter (chartered in 1981 PMI Chapters) encouraged the formation of PMSA in 1997 and committed to an ongoing working relationship between the two organisations.

PMSA has existed autonomously for more than fifteen years and has also maintained a co-operative agreement directly with PMI's USA-based global office, which encourages reciprocity in a number of areas consistent with the relationships PMI has with other autonomous bodies around the world.[4]

Membership

PMSA membership currently stands at more than 1500 members, who are drawn from a diverse cross section of industries and ethnic groups.[5]

gollark: That might technically be the case, but it is not intended as one.
gollark: This is NOT true. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. Since it is not a pizza, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture. You are clearly engaged in libel and attempting to discredit my non-pizza-advertising status. It is IN NO WAY subliminal pizza advertising because I DO NOT work for pizza companies in any form. It's not pizza. There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of subliminal advertising involving me. People make that mistake, but I am not working for pizza companies doing subliminal advertising; that is not in any way what I am doing. I am NOT being sponsored by ANY pizza companies to display subliminal pizza advertising OF ANY KIND.
gollark: Technically, I own the sun and will invoice heavy users.

gollark: No, those are twisted-pair.
