College of Business and Economics | Annual Report 2024 Mr Mziwanele Maxakatho Mr Kabelo Rabaloyi Mr Sandile Mbatha Ms Delisa Simelane TRANSFORMATION CBE continues to make significant strides towards building a more diverse and inclusive college. In 2024, CBE made a first of its kind appointment, with Dr Husain Coovadia appointed as the Vice-Dean: Global Engagement, marking a new step in the College’s internationalisation strategy. Through the support of the University with its targeted initiatives, we increased the representation of designated groups (black, Coloured, and Indian). Of the 510 employees, 324, representing 63,41%, are from designated groups. Non-designated groups remain a valuable part of our College, and they contribute significantly to its growth and stability. We have also demonstrated a strong commitment to gender parity at all levels. In our staff complement, we have a female representation of 303 (59%) employees. The College’s Decolonisation Committee, chaired by Dr Naifa Rashied, has also found its rhythm. It holds its meetings as per schedule and presents the committee’s deliberations on the CBE Board of College. This demonstrates that the College is dedicated to more than just diversity, but also to the important work of decolonisation. 84
