WBS Alumni Authors

The Wits Business School, founded in 1968, has attracted many of the South Africa’s most innovative and creative minds. The alumni community has made meaningful contributions in the economic and social development of the country.

In 2008 on the 40th anniversary of the Wits Business School, Prof Loyisa Nongxa, Vice Chancellor of the University of the Witwatersrand, paid tribute to our alumni who “play a key role … (and) stand out in their fields of expertise as sophisticated and independent intellectuals, critical thinkers, creative innovators, problem-posers and problem-solvers.” (Moments in Time 1968 – 2008 WBS 40th Anniversary Address Page 03)

The Alumni Authors section of this website is dedicated to our WBS Alumni community who have made a contribution in the field of writing.
