Professor Wim de Villiers, the university’s rector and vice-chancellor, expressed enthusiasm for the initiative, stating that the centre will contribute to resolving unemployment, poverty and inequality in Africa.
The Allan Gray Centre for African Entrepreneurship will be led by two co-directors, Dr. Phumlani Nkontwana and Professor Erik Stam, who bring extensive knowledge and experience in the entrepreneurial sector.
