At today’s W-WIITS 2025 Summit, we are honored to welcome Ms. Sally Nhlanhla, the dynamic Chief Executive Officer of Rekindle Learning—a trailblazing South African edtech firm redefining corporate learning through microlearning and mobile-first solutions.
A Leader with Vision and Experience
Sally Nhlanhla brings over a decade of expertise in business development, partnerships, and strategic sales leadership across various sectors. Her educational foundation in accounting and membership in the Institute of Management Accountants underpin her strategic insight. Prior to leading Rekindle, she served in key roles including CEO of Covenant Securities Solutions, Managing Director at Excel Inc., and Digital Sales Manager at Pearson. Her career has positioned her as a specialist in scaling operations and steering growth strategies across the African market.
Rekindle Learning: Where Learning Meets Tech
Under Ms. Nhlanhla’s leadership, Rekindle Learning has emerged as a proudly South African platform transforming the learning landscape for organizations. The company's intuitive, mobile-first microlearning app helps businesses turn real-world work experiences into learning moments. Its AI-driven analytics and interactive dashboards empower trainers to deliver bite-sized, just-in-time learning—perfect for today’s fast-paced workflows.
Mission, Impact, and Innovation
Rekindle's guiding principle is simple yet powerful: “Get the gold that’s locked inside the heads of top performers onto the devices of everyone in your company.” The platform is built to enhance knowledge retention, promote learning agility, and reinforce organizational know-how, designed to work as an ongoing learning cycle rather than one-off training events.
Driving Organizational Performance
Rekindle has already made waves among top-tier clients. Financial services teams, for instance, have used the platform to improve compliance training outcomes. Retail and call center staff have benefited from faster product and regulatory upskilling through engaging microlearning modules. In heavy industries like mining and manufacturing, Rekindle delivers safety training that is up to 10 times more efficient, boosting retention by 25–60%, and delivering significant gains in both compliance and workplace safety.
Educational Philosophy in Action
Rekindle’s approach is rooted in learning science principles—recognizing that learning happens through activity, not passive instruction. The platform is intentionally designed to deliver small, interactive learning bursts that fit into employees’ workflows, continuously reinforce knowledge, and empower individuals to improve performance incrementally.
A Transformative Force in Learning
With Sally Nhlanhla at the helm, Rekindle Learning is doing much more than servicing corporate training needs—it is inspiring organizations to become learning organizations, capable of adapting, innovating, and thriving in the digital age.
