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.

Kovsies ladies’ and men’s basketball first teams showed off their expertise on the court – hosting a camp for first-year students. Shooting hoops at the two Callie Human outdoor courts, the teams helped about 150 first-year students through drills, skills challenges and games.
Men’s first-team player, Clemen Kock, says the new-comers, a mix of first-time and experienced basketball players, had “a mad time” on the court learning new skills. “We are looking forward to a great year of academics mixed with some crazy basketball with a Res-Campus League kicking off soon.”
