Archbishop Thabo Makgoba Trust annual lecture on values-based leadership on 4 October 2021. The Business School Director, Professor Owen Skae, welcomed and acknowledged all distinguished guests and attendees. The renowned Archbishop Thabo Makgoba opened with a prayer. In his opening remarks, Vice-Chancellor of Rhodes University, Dr Sizwe Mabizela, said the lecture provides a platform to reflect on leadership challenges and possible solutions in society.
Professor Skae read the Responsible Leadership citation of the Archbishop Thabo Makgoba Trust winner, John Rohlandt, from the Master of Business Administration class of 2020. Governor of the South African Reserve Bank, Tito Mboweni, opened his speech with a quote from Titus 1: 7-14: “For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach.
“I grew up in the Apostolic Faith Mission Church. From an early age at Sunday School, the Ten Commandments were drummed into our heads! The commandments guide us to distinguish between right and wrong. Our consciences always tell us when we violate them, and this happens more often than not. If your conscience says this is not right, it is probably a bad thing you are about to do. ‘Do not steal!’ should constantly ring in the head of anyone in a position of responsibility,” he said.
The honourable guest highlighted that, as a leader, you have the responsibility to work with your colleagues to produce better results, find solutions, generate more profit for businesses and grow the economy. He suggested that the South African government cabinet be split 60:40, and that the 60% should constitute the youth.
