What if South Africa's immigration debate isn't really about immigration?

According to Prof Joseph Sekhampu, Chief Director of the NWU Business School, it may instead reveal something deeper: a society grappling with slower growth, limited mobility and increasing competition for opportunity.

As opportunities become harder to access, public debate shifts from how they should be created to who should have access to them.

What if wisdom isn't something we carry into the future but something we discover only after we've lived through it?

In his latest thought piece, Prof Joseph Sekhampu reflects on hindsight, growth, and the difficult truth that some lessons only reveal themselves after the moment that required them has passed.

A thoughtful read for anyone reflecting on life's decisions, regrets and the quiet grace of becoming wiser.

We love seeing our alumni doing remarkable work, and we’re proud to feature Siphiwe Moyo – CEO of Paradigm People Solutions, Executive Director of the Organisational Behaviour Institute, and an internationally recognised keynote speaker.

From leading businesses and facilitating executive strategy conversations to speaking on global stages, Siphiwe has built a career rooted in communication, leadership and continuous growth. He describes his time at the NWU Business School as a transformative experience that strengthened his strategic thinking, broadened his understanding of business, and reinforced the importance of communication as a strategic asset in leadership and entrepreneurship.

Reflecting on his journey, Siphiwe encourages students to focus on more than just qualifications:
“Do not only study for employment. Study for relevance. Study for adaptability. Study for opportunity.”

He also believes that genuine relationships and continuous learning play a vital role in long-term success – lessons that have shaped both his entrepreneurial journey and global speaking career.

We are proud to celebrate alumni like Siphiwe who continue to make an impact in business, leadership and beyond.

You can study for relevance too; applications are open – apply now. 👉Follow the link in the comments.
