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.

The main objective of the project was to raise public awareness for palaeontology, rock art and archaeology with regard to the origins of man in Africa. At the celebrations were, from the left: Mr Tebogo Mohlakane (of the education division of the National Museum), Clementina Klein, Bruewayne van Schalkwyk, Johan Venter (all first-year students in Anthropology at the UFS), and Mr Jo Serekoane (junior lecturer in the Department of Anthropology at the UFS).
