Latest newsIn a world obsessed with change, and the future hurtling towards us at breakneck speed, how does one future-proof oneself? You do so by remaining connected to the changing world and by constantly upskilling oneself. Lifelong learning is no longer a luxury; it's an imperative! So welcome to the TSIBA world, where future-focused skills, ongoing learning, access and competitive pricing for post-graduate study are prioritised. 10 Feb 2023 Read more What drives business success? This is a million-dollar question, but foremost, is that it must serve a need, and that the owner of the entrepreneurial venture must be passionate about the service or product! 28 Oct 2022 Read more Where do you go to dream? To connect? To be inspired? To learn? To feel secure? Tsiba Business School is providing such a space through its recent new campus acquisition. 18 Aug 2022 Read more During Women's Month when so much attention is on the high levels of violence against women in South Africa, the focus should also be on the mitigating role that education can play. 15 Aug 2022 Read more June in South Africa is Youth Month! It is a poignant reminder of the gallant youth of 1976 who in their quest for a decent education, courageously challenged the might of the South African security forces and one can argue, they also played a seminal role in the march towards democracy. However, the youth dividend doesn't end here. Think of the energy behind the 'fees must fall' campaign, the 'decolonisation of education' movement and further afield, efforts by Malala Yousefzai who in her drive for girls' education in Pakistan took a bullet. Also, Greta Thundberg, the Swedish teen, mobilised thousands of young people and challenged world leaders to bring qualitative changes to environmentally disastrous policies. 29 Jun 2022 Read more In his book, Beyond the Limits to Growth (2014), author Hiroshi Komiyama writes about the pursuit of a 'platinum society' - a society that aims to improve the lives of people through innovation, through coordination with industry, government, and academia. It was such a society that beckoned at the new dawn of democracy in 1994 when the country transitioned into a new political dispensation with a new Constitution and Bill of Rights, new anthem and a new international identity. 6 Jun 2022 Read more How life has changed! Just four years ago hardly anyone knew of Covid-19. Little did we realise that the coronavirus, one of the great disruptors of modern times (Leadership, May 2020) will redefine how we work, live and relate to each other. Remote working, masking, and social distancing was suddenly foisted on us and will probably be the way we live well into the future. 13 May 2022 Read more What is the value of one's heart beat? What is the meaning of life? Do I matter? These are existential questions that people increasingly reflect on in light of the Covid pandemic and the rising number of existential threats facing humanity. Placing a value on life is a poignant ontological question, nearly impossible to answer, yet profound enough to drive many a passion. 29 Mar 2022 Read more Many South African businesses are trapped in a low growth cycle. Much of this stems from problems that lie in the macro socio-economic and political spheres in which businesses find themselves. However, what is becoming increasingly clear is that the organisational challenges of corruption, unethical conduct or poor productivity, are directly related to employee behaviour. It is not surprising, therefore, that many companies are placing high emphasis on behavioural attributes at recruitment interviews. These are then linked to desired workplace outcomes and levels of productivity. 21 Jan 2022 Read more Colin Coleman, former CEO of Goldman Sachs and Senior Fellow at Yale University, recently wrote an article 'SA doesn't have a debt problem. It has a growth problem - and a solution.' (Sunday Times, Insight, 3 Oct 2021). This sparked much needed debate about economic austerity and growth. Coleman underscores the need to refocus away from our debilitating debt and more towards opportunities for growth. Some of the examples he uses are to capitalise on the recent commodity boom that had given the JSE a healthy boost, as well as to leverage value from covid and other financial grants to the unemployed. These can be recycled into the economy to stimulate growth through social spending. 9 Nov 2021 Read more "The technology of tomorrow requires not millions of lightly lettered (wo)men, ready to work in unison at endlessly repetitious jobs, it requires not (wo)men who take orders in unblinking fashion, but (wo)men who can make critical judgments, who can weave their way through novel environments, who are quick to spot new relationships in the rapidly changing reality." - Alvin Toffler, Future Shock, 1970 2 Jul 2021 Read more Load shedding, load reduction, and power outages reflect the 'heart of darkness' of a government that has plunged South Africa into a deep economic and social mess through systemic dysfunction and failure to govern. 14 Jun 2021 Read more "Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." - Archbishop Emeritus, Desmond Tutu. It was, therefore, unfortunate that the minister of finance, Tito Mboweni, would premise his recent Budget Speech 2021 with 'hope' and, days later, South Africa was hit with a spate of power failures - which, through its destructive impact on the economy, is the anathema of 'hope'! 30 Mar 2021 Read more The current economic downturn brought by the impact of Covid-19 has not only changed the way companies do business but has renewed focus on the role of small and medium enterprises (SMME) as a catalyst for growth and job creation. 14 Aug 2020 Read more What do local startup entrepreneurs and 36 students have in common? They shared in a 'mindfest' international dialogue to create real-world solutions to real world entrepreneurial problems! 12 Aug 2020 Read more Eighty-eight days after lockdown, TSIBA Business School students on 22 June 2020, sat for their first online examinations! This remarkable achievement, in contrast to many institutions still struggling with data and learning devices, resulted from many robust discussions, endless 'muting' and 'unmuting' online meetings, navigating complex issues of data, learning devices and selecting appropriate epistemology. All this was underpinned by passionate and committed teaching and academic support staff determined to deliver the academic programme and turn what was potentially a winter of despair, into a season of hope! 2 Jul 2020 Read more Here is a question: You have two options presented to you right now; live or learn. Which one do you choose? 18 May 2020 Read more Following an extensive and thorough recruitment and selection process, it is with great pleasure that we announce the appointment of Dr Riedwaan (Rudi) Kimmie as the new chief executive officer of TSIBA Business School, registered as TSIBA Education NPC. Dr Kimmie will assume the role from 1 May 2020 following a full hand-over from our current interim CEO Professor Kobus Visser. 8 Apr 2020 Read more Disruptive innovation is the hallmark of the digital economy. But we did not expect its acceleration to be forced upon us through an invisible, viral contagion such as the coronavirus Covid-19! 7 Apr 2020 Read more With most education institutions closing applications at the end of this month, what happens to the thousands of students with Bachelor Pass matrics whose dreams rely on a place at university for a bright future? 13 Dec 2019 Read more More news...Contact TSIBATel: (021) 532-2750 Whatsapp: 076 506 0572 Email: az.ca.abist@ofni Postal Address: PO Box 13071, Mowbray 7705, Cape Town Physical Address: Mupine College, 307 Forest Drive Extension, Pinelands, Cape Town, 7405
