Richard Molefe, a final-year BCom Investment Management and Banking
student at the University of the Free State (UFS), was recently elected uncontested as the National Chairperson of the Black Management Forum (BMF) National Student Chapter. The BMF aims to empower managerial leadership among black individuals in South Africa. Molefe's election signifies a step towards inclusive leadership structures that reflect wider societal values.
In an exclusive interview, Molefe shares his vision for youth empowerment and his plans for the Student Chapter's endeavours.
“The Black Management Forum’s programmes of development and advancement of managerial leadership and socio-economic transformation have exposed me to leadership opportunities that enhance my potential and aspirations. The opportunity is an indication that I have done something right, but I must constantly remind myself that I have not arrived,” said Molefe.
In his one-year term of office, Molefe wants to ensure that national structures of the Student Chapter exist and are functional, key pillars – promoting leadership, managerial leadership development skills, and entrepreneurial skills development in higher education institutions.

 Prof. Christiane Nord (pictured) of the Department of Afroasiatic Studies, Sign Language and Language Practice at the University of the Free State, recently delivered her inaugural lecture as Extraordinary Professor on the Main Campus on the topic: Functional translatology – past, present and future perspectives. Her focus was on tracing the development and spreading of functional approaches to translation and interpreting in order to find out where they were going, what present trends and research interests of young functionalists were and where more investigation was needed. For this purpose she looked at persons and topics, as well as their geographical distribution.
