SBL Advisory Board

Note from the Chairperson - Unathi Mtya

Ms Unathi Mtya

Serving on the UNISA Graduate School of Business Leadership Advisory Board with such an esteemed group of individuals from South Africa and abroad is an absolute honour and privilege.  I take on this role as Chairperson at a very crucial and exciting time, as UNISA SBL celebrates 60 years of excellence in 2025. It’s a time to reflect on the success of ‘inspiring leaders’ over the period, it’s also a time to dig deep and look into innovative ways of enriching, enhancing and positioning the school as a leading global institution inspiring leaders and steering the ship of knowledge economy, such that the school remains global, relevant and world class, whilst rooted in the African continent. The collective global experience, diverse skills and wisdom of this Advisory Board will guide UNISA GSBL executives on key strategic initiatives, practices and methods that will yield sustainable competitive advantage and measurable success.

Leadership education has always been a cornerstone of the school, and this is evident in UNISA SBL’s unique offering. The practice of leadership just like any other has been disrupted, giving a whole new meaning to what ‘future readiness’ is as it relates to leading organisations and institutions at large, in a world that is constantly changing. UNISA SBL is well poised to offer candidates an opportunity to tap on this future.
