At the Financial Mail-curated session at the 𝗠𝗕𝗔 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗼 in Sandton, Prof Joseph Sekhampu joined Prof Owen Skae, Mr. Zukile Majova and Prof Ivor Chipkin for a discussion on “Municipal Leadership and Governance: Building Financially Capable Public Leaders,” moderated by Financial Mail editor Mr. Rob Rose.

The discussion examined a pressing question for South Africa as the country heads towards the local government elections: 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽, 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆?

Prof Sekhampu argued that developing skilled public leaders is necessary, but individual competence does not automatically translate into institutional capability. Business schools can strengthen financial judgement, strategic thinking, ethical leadership and decision-making under conditions of scarcity. But public institutions must also create environments in which professional competence is valued, protected and able to translate into better institutional performance.

The discussion also highlighted a broader question about the role of management education in strengthening the state. The contribution of business schools cannot end with qualifications. It must extend to developing leaders who can navigate institutional complexity, exercise sound judgement and manage scarce public resources in ways that create public value.

What an inspiring day at the MBA Expo 2026 connecting with prospective students, alumni, and industry leaders who are shaping the future of business and governance! NWU Business School was proud to join critical conversations on how executive education translates into real-world impact, leadership resilience, and strategic capability.

Our alumna, Deseré Botha, shared her powerful journey, reflecting on how it was right here at a previous MBA Expo where she made the defining decision to enrol for her MBA with NWU Business School. She highlighted how her MBA provided the strategic breadth, while her PhD delivered the specialization depth—paving the way for her to develop a compliance training framework of true strategic strength. Reminding us of the personal drive behind executive growth, she shared: "Life is short, build your legacy deliberately."

Adding to the day's high-level insights, Prof. Joseph Sekhumpu, Chief Director of NWU Business School, featured on the Financial Mail panel exploring Municipal Leadership & Governance: Building Financially Capable Public Leaders. Prof. Sekhumpu addressed the challenge of capability conversion in local government, emphasizing that placing experienced leaders into unfavorable operating environments is not enough. He highlighted how business education must equip public sector leaders with the targeted financial literacy, governance frameworks, and strategic tools required to deliver clean audits and drive accountable governance.

Rounding off our speaker features, Dr. Lungile shared invaluable insights from an MBA leader’s perspective. She reflected on how postgraduate business qualifications empower executive decision-making, helping leaders navigate complex environments, step into higher strategic roles, and foster long-term professional resilience.

Behind every qualification is a story of becoming. Our "Accreditation in Motion" journey continues to highlight what truly shapes our institution: our community.

Today, we are excited to release the newest addition to our "Journeys That Shape the School" Community Features! Joining our existing alumni and staff features, this latest section brings you our Student Feature, showcasing the inspiring paths of seven female postgraduate students.

As Women’s Month draws to a close, these seven women remind us that achievement is never only the moment we see at the end. It is also the decision to begin, the responsibilities carried alongside it, the doubt worked through, the support accepted, the courage borrowed from others, and the willingness to keep going when the path is not straightforward.
