The most prominent memory is of studying and debating statistics in the courtyard with my ‘syndicate’ group. I recall, much to my own embarrassment, having tearful meetings with my lecturer because I was convinced I would not pass the subject. Looking back now, I realise how lucky I was to have had such great teachers. I am thankful for my time spent at WBS.

I met many outstanding professionals at Wits. The part-time MBA was a memorable experience, and I met many outstanding professionals at Wits. I would particularly like to mention Mike Pycraft, who lectured one of my favourite subjects (Operations) and who was a mentor and sounding board in the early days of me starting my business….
I benefited immensely from my interaction with older and more experienced students and it was good background for my subsequent career in politics
