Dr Tshepo Feela, Chairperson (Interim)

In these ever-changing times, lifelong learning is a critical success factor and Tshepo Feela has certainly taken up the challenge. He started out at the University of the Free State in 2004, where he obtained his Bachelor of Accounting. After completing his articles, he was appointed financial manager at a prominent Johannesburg law firm, but settling into the corporate world did not put an end to his academic pursuits. Tshepo enrolled at the SBL, obtaining his MBL and becoming the recipient of the Judge Bernard Ngoape scholarship award for his academic performance. Currently Group Executive Officer for the Diversifex Group, he has embarked on a PhD in financial economics at the Wits Business School. In addition, he has certificates and memberships of various professional bodies, including the Institute of Directors South Africa, and is part of the European Union Aesop Programme. In 2017, he gained a sense of what it is like to be in the front of a lecture hall and did some lecturing at the University of Latvia. A proud graduate of the SBL, Tshepo is now sharing the wealth of experience he has gained with his fellow alumni.
