She provides client support to SMMEs, BEE companies, government departments, and business partners, including supplier verification for Request for Proposal (RFP) processes, Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration support, stakeholder outreach programmes, and compliance with quality management requirements. She also facilitates training and development initiatives aimed at strengthening township enterprises and promoting sustainable economic growth.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morongoa holds a Bachelor of Public Management, a Postgraduate Diploma in Public Management, and a Higher Certificate in Public Management from Regenesys Business School, as well as a Certificate in Public Procurement and Supply Management from UNISA.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout her career, she has contributed to several government and community development initiatives, including the Ntirhisano Gauteng Service Delivery Programme, Nasi iSpani Mass Recruitment Programme, Tswa Daar!
