A NATIONAL CQ MOVEMENT BY IN-SA FOR INCLUSIVITY

Beyond seeing faces. Start seeing people.In-SA invites YOU and your organisation to go beyond ticking a box and make a real impact. Sizobonana Ngempela is a national Cultural Intelligence (CQ) campaign igniting cross-cultural understanding in workplaces, schools, and communities.

Like a single drop of water, each CQ session creates ripples of understanding that spread outward, improving communication, bridging divides, and building the spirit of Ubuntu that South Africa urgently needs to reclaim.

WITHOUT CQ, WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE:

Cross-cultural misunderstandings and unconscious bias

Deep divisions between generations, races, and teams

Emotional exhaustion, distrust, and disengagement

DEI efforts that tick boxes but don ’t change behaviour.

CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE EQUIPS TEAMS TO:

See beyond stereotypes and assumptions

Build psychological safety and shared respect

Boost productivity through real cohesion

Lead with empathy, not authority

Co-create a shared South African identity that feels like home to all

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

A nationwide rollout of half-day CQ sessions

Held across:

Corporate offices, In-house or on-site (team-building format)

Each session includes:

Two diverse, trained facilitators per group of 25

PAIN POINTS TO ADDRESS

The majority of South Africans long to be a united nation where all citizens are welcome and feel that they belong.
Leaders who lack prioritising a unified South-African nation, plus populistic politicians active on social media, largely contribute to the current polarisation in the nation.
A unified, socially equitable nation will go a long way in supporting the ultimately envisioned desired state of economic equity.
