Our group was founded in October 2008 by Gaynor Paynter from Typewrite Transcription and Typing Services cc, and Alison Fourie from AMF Typing Services cc,
Tavasa was formed as there was a need for a support group within South Africa.
Please note we are not a recruitment company, it is up to individual Virtual Assistants and Transcriptionists to find their own work/clients.
We provide support for people in our industries
We bring together a group of professionals who can support each other
We try to set standards for our industries in South Africa

Our aim is the promote the Transcriptionists and Virtual Assistants industry within South Africa and mitigate the effects of AI upon our industry.

You will feel by belonging to our forum you have now joined the South Africa family of VAs and Transcriptionists within South Africa. All questions are welcome and we would love you to participate and meet everyone. No questions are too stupid to ask as there will always be someone wanting to ask that question.
Join us on our Whatsapp group by contacting either Ali or Gaynor to add you to the group. (No chancers please and do it during office hours).
What makes Tavasa different from other groups in South Africa is it is run by virtual assistants and transcriptionists who have the experience within the industry that is key to assisting others who need assistance. We know the industry and are well established and are well able to share our skills and knowledge in assisting others.
