College of Business and Economics | Annual Report 2023 3 The College partnered with the Vice-Chancellor for a ‘High Tea with the VC’ and hosted Ms Nonkululeko Gobodo to discuss her book, Awakened to My True Self. She is a renowned businessperson and in 1987 was the first African woman to qualify as a chartered accountant in South Africa. Our ‘Eagles Fly Above the Storm Women’s Conference 2023’, in partnership with the Women of Stature Foundation, inspired more women to find and use their wings and voices to achieve more in their communities and workplaces. The presence of Ms Nolwazi Mamorare, our CFO, and Ms Kone Gugushe, a Ministerial appointee to the Council, added honour to the event. Our commitment to academic excellence remains steadfast. We are proud of our rising student success rates, a flourishing research environment, and even a second-place finish at the UJ Staff Day celebrations where we celebrated diversity and embraced the Basotho culture. This year’s achievements are a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire CBE community. As the new Executive Dean, I am honoured to serve alongside such a remarkable team.
