I graduated with my MBA from WBS in 2007. The MBA changed my life, but in small ways, bit by bit, by ensuring that my practice always had structure. As a social worker, running a non-profit organisation, it ensured that I applied business acumen and thinking to my desire to address social problems.
I am currently studying for my PhD at another university, but it was WBS that started me on my academic career path.
Some of the best years of my life. We worked hard, had a lot of fun, and made lifelong friendships.
The life skills learnt, in-particular from Dave Cawood, have stood me in good stead throughout my working life.
I am still applying the learnings daily. I was part of the MAP 120 group. What a privilege to have been in this class of intelligent and committed Africans who are prepared to change Africa for the better. Prof Malikane, Dr Mosala, Mike and the marketing classes stood out as some of the best…
Congratulations, WBS, on your 50th year celebrations! In 1992, events exposed our class to very exciting political events. We had two superb politics teachers. Prof Schlemmer and Prof van Zyl Slabbert!
I graduated in 2014. The course had a positive impact on my life, especially in business and in the working environment in general. I had an amazing experience at WBS – the lectures were very good. I especially remember Professor Ron Walter.
The MBA program was a pivotal learning experience in my life, and I still draw on insights and tools that I learned.
