The South African Principals Association was formed in 1995 at a launching conference in the Western Cape. It is based on the principles of non-alignment to any political party or organization, or to any other educator body or union.
While SAPA is the national umbrella body, the association effectively functions at a provincial level. Each province elects its own executive committee to organize activities including conferences, local seminars, newsletters, and negotiations with provincial education departments.
