In celebration of Wits’ centenary, the Wits Business School leadership team hosted an evening in the company of ten of South Africa’s most well-known and respected business leaders. Drawing on their unique experiences, each of our speakers devoted ten minutes to sharing their insights into doing business in a globalised world towards a future that is sustainable, inclusive and equitable. They represent a cross-section of industries, come from divergent backgrounds and have different leadership styles – but they are all inspirational in their outlook on business and on life. The ten speakers and their topics are:

1. Prof Michael Katz - How can i help
2. Gugu Sepamla - The table is big enough
3. Mteto Nyati - The forgotten part of leadership
4. Brigitte da Gama - Harnessing education to unlock human potential
