Invited to the panel is a group of remarkable South Africans who will explore the theme of rebuilding Mandela's South Africa, and includes Simon Susman, Honorary President of Woolworths Holdings Limited, Honorary Prof of Entrepreneurship at Stellenbosch University Business School and TSIBA Board Chairperson, Ross Faragher-Thomas, Non-Executive Member and Director of TSIBA Ignition Academy, Lunga Schoeman, TSIBA Alumnus and senior management at the Oceana Group, Munouwarrah Abdurahman, SRC Chairperson, Allan Gray Orbis Fellow and co-founder of student society, TSIBA Earth.

"Almost thirty years into the democracy Madiba gifted to us, reflections on where we are, and where we are not are so important. Mandela's is a part of the Soul of South Africa, and we wanted to explore how we stay true to his legacy, or reinvent ourselves to realise it, especially across different generations since 1994". This event explores these themes.   - Graham Moore, Head of Brand at TSIBA Business School 

TSIBA HOUSE NDABENI, new home to over 600 students currently is a wish fulfilment since founding TSIBA in 2004, an organisation which works to  profoundly change the future of young people with its Global Sustainability Goals of no poverty, quality education, decent work and economic growth for generations ahead. They are hoping to expand the numbers to 2000 students by 2030, which will be  achieved through multiple business and philanthropy partnerships.

Since inception, TSIBA has awarded more than 8500 full annual tuition scholarships to students who would otherwise have been unable to get access to higher education for financial reasons.

Over 80% of TSIBA students are first-generation tertiary education entrants who aspire to transcend poverty and who have been raised in resource-constrained communities. 87% of TSIBA Business Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree graduates are either employed or pursuing postgraduate studies.
