THE SPEAKER FACTOR – DO YOU HAVE IT?
The Speaker Factor is the annual PSASA speech competition for Associate Members who wish to showcase their talent and sharpen their speaking skills.
Each year in January through March, PSASA Chapters host regional competitions to determine the candidates who will represent their Chapter at the semi-final and final during the Annual Convention in April, where the Grand Champion is crowned.
This Champion gains an automatic speaking slot and is invited to deliver a full keynote at the next annual convention.
Past champions include Zanele Njapha, KZN Chapter (2019), Gary Tintinger, Johannesburg Chapter (2020), Alison Weihe, Johannesburg Chapter (2021), Nick Smit, Johannesburg Chapter (2022), Njideka Chika Orji, Virtual Chapter (2023) and Ursula Botha, Virtual Chapter (2024).
