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.

Kovsie Extravaganza “Zircus”
17 October 2012 |
Hundreds of people flocked to the Callie Human Centre on Saturday 13 October 2012 for the Kovsie Extravaganza “Zircus”. Friends, family and lovers of the arts watched the amazing performances by students from our Bloemfontein and Qwaqwa Campuses. South African singer-songwriter and poet Zahara also wowed the crowd.
The Kovsie Extravaganza had a circus theme. Clowns ensured that the audience remained enthusiastic. The university’s orchestra added a touch of elegance to the show and the choir brought musical harmony to the event. There were performances of rap, pop, drama and poetry.
As soon as Zahara stepped on stage, the crowd went wild. She performed songs such as Destiny, Umthwalo and Loliwe.
The event donated R10 out of every ticket bought to the No Student Hungry campaign that offers food bursaries to our students. It is known that twenty precent of our students cannot afford food to sustain them on campus. Events like the Extravaganza help raise funds for the campaign.
