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.

Wayne Stevens, captain of the Shimlas at the University of the Free State (UFS), has reason to smile after his team won another match in the FNB Varsity Cup on Monday.
Both teams played well, but in the end it was the FNB TUT Vikings who had to accept defeat. The Shimlas sent the Vikings home with a score of 37-31.
The Shimlas got a bonus point for scoring four tries. This places them in the fourth position on the league log.
This week the team is preparing for their match against the FNB Tuks. The Shimlas feel confident about their next match and are now working on their strategy.
The Shimlas will play against the FNB Tuks at the Tuks Rugby Stadium in Pretoria on Monday, 8 March 2010 at 18:30.
