Former Group CEO of Mediclinic, Danie Meintjes, gave a riveting guest speech at the opening ceremony of this year’s final graduations on 4 December 2018. “I know no-one who is both extremely successful and lazy. Hard work does not necessarily refer to long hours but to what you achieve within those hours.”
Candidates from the faculties of Economic and Management Sciences and Education were told that there are no shortcuts to success; however, hard work can speed up the process of progress.
“This day marks a sense of achievement and an atmosphere of celebration,” said Rector and Vice-Chancellor, Prof Francis Peterson. Indeed, the air was heavy with excitement punctuated by applause and ululations.
