The launch of the MzansiXchange Pilot took place on 09 October 2025, and was addressed by National Treasury Director-General, Dr Duncan Pieterse. MzansiXchange is a pioneering initiative led by the National Treasury to demonstrate how secure, interoperable, and citizen-centred data exchange can enable evidence-based policymaking and real-time data verification between departments. This can also enable improved service delivery and responsible digital governance in South Africa. This initiative forms part of MyMzansi, South Africa’s roadmap for digital transformation.
National Treasury has jointly partnered with the following institutions to ensure the success of the MzansiXchange pilot:
- Statistics South Africa
- Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
- Department of Home Affairs
- Department of Basic Education
- Department of Higher Education and Training
