🎓 Congratulations to our MBA graduates!

Rhodes Business School is celebrating nine new MBA graduates

And well done to our MBA graduates:
Gerald Brown, Duncan Hlatshwayo, Siyabonga Mtembu, Ross Shelton, Fika Sibanyoni, Ndumiso Sijako, Booysen Snyman, Dr Mandla Yawa and Nomathamsanqa Yawa.

From ethical leadership and team resilience to social entrepreneurship and the water crisis, their research tackled real problems facing organisations and communities.

Most of them did this while working full-time and caring for families. We are proud of every one of them, and grateful to the supervisors, families and employers who supported them.
