The North-West University’s (NWU’s) Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences in Mahikeng recently initiated and hosted a Career Expo to empower learners and unemployed graduates in the Phela and Matlhako regions.

The NWU organised the event together with its strategic partner, the North West Development Corporation (NWDC), and in conjunction with the Pella-Matlhako Development Group (PMDG).

The event, themed “Dream it to be it”, took place on 21 May 2022 at the Bakwena-ba-Morare Tribal Hall.

Getting a degree, let alone an honours degree, is surreal for Meshan Letsoalo. By all accounts, he should not be where he is today, as the odds were stacked against him from birth.

We wish to extend huge congratulations to the Minister of Land and Water Affairs of the Republic of Botswana, Dr Kefentse C Mzwinila, for graduating with a PhD degree from the NWU Business School on 25 May 2022.

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has sent shockwaves across the globe, causing significant uncertainty in global markets.

Although geographically far removed from these warring countries, the modern era of globalisation and fierce integration of markets through trade and financial flows means that South Africans will possibly feel the effect on their pockets.
