Scenes Of Jubilation As 502 Henley Africa Students Graduate
Foster-Pedley said he hoped the graduates would take a leaf out of Gordhan’s hat and serve as active corporate citizens with an unshakeable moral compass and sense of purpose to fight institutionalised greed, corruption and state capture so that all South Africans can share in the country’s wealthy, and create a better life for their families and communities.

Businesses must ‘do good’ in order to ‘do well’ by dean Jon Foster-Pedley
