Chairperson: Thesele Mampane
Thesele is a final year Bcomm student majoring in Investment Management and Statistics. He hails from Polokwane, Limpopo, a place he celebrates for honing his entrepreneurial spirit.
He was first introduced to the Investment society by former chairperson, Sihle Siswana. Given Thesele's love for knowledge and self-improvement, it was only a matter of time until the educational philosophy of the society heightened his interest and involvement in its activities. This paradigm is directly aligned with his love for development finance. Of particular interest to him is the role that still needs to be played by the growing middle class in the financial markets.
His appointment as chair of the society is a humbling experience for him. He hopes to exert a positive influence to the society through commitment and courageous leadership.
