Students remain outsiders inside the system of Higher Education. - Mr Siseko Khumalo Black Management Forum

****Immediate Release***

The Black Management Forum Student Chapter is proud to host its Inaugural Conference focusing on Deconolization and Transformation of HESA at the Rhodes University.

To the family, friends, comrades and Tshwane University of Technology students,

"Death is a thief" (African Proverb). On Thursday night we were shocked to learn of the sudden death of Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) student leader under SASCO and Fees Must Fall activist Lesego Benjamin Phehla after he was hit by a car at a protest outside one of the institution's campuses. From the Black Management Forum Student Chapter please accept our deepest sympathies for your loss; our prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Cde Benjamin Phehla was a final year Information and Communication Technology (ICT) student and the chairperson of the ICT Student Faculty Council, playing a huge role in liaising and advising the dean on student issues.

His fight for free quality education in South Africa will not go in vein. May his soul rest in peace.

Our sincerest condolences, The Black Management Forum Student Chapter.

A matric exam is an important gateway to the next phase of your life. It opens doors for one to study further. The Black Management Forum Student Chapter would like to wish the Matric Class of 2016 all the best with their final exams, may your results be a reflection of your hard work.

"Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world."- Nelson Mandela

The Black Management Forum Student Chapter will be present and robust in their engagements with leaders in Corporate SA.
