In 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.

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 South Africa's economy is in a precarious state, judging from Minister of Finance, Tito Mboweni's 2019 Medium Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBS). The Finance Minister presented a dire view of the South Africa economy which is characterised by excessive government spending, the collective impact from load shedding, weak investments and slow growth in most sectors of the economy. The country's expenditure is way over revenue income, the national debt is bulging and there are no prospects of international respite because of a slowdown in the global economy, mainly driven by the China-US trade wars and the uncertainty of Brexit. 3 Dec 2019 Read more Recent media statements have indicated that student applications to all public universities in the Western Cape has closed, that no walk-in applications will be accepted and that these higher education institutions are already fully subscribed. 5 Nov 2019 Read more From humble beginnings in a blanket factory in Mowbray (2004-2005) to an outdated training facility in Pinelands (2006-2019), TSIBA will be moving into new premises in January 2020; premises that will serve as a first-class and aspirational educational establishment for its students. 18 Oct 2019 Read more A researcher at the University of the Free State, Ms Patience Mukwambo, wrote in a Fin24 article how higher education must do more than help graduates get jobs. 11 Oct 2019 Read more As a first postgraduate programme of its kind in South Africa, the Postgraduate Diploma in Small Enterprise Consulting (PGDip SEC) is designed to support consultants, coaches and mentors working with entrepreneurs.

Are you involved in the operations side but you are struggling to think strategically about your business growth? Is your annual turnover less than R2m? 9 Apr 2019 Read more "Our greatest challenge is to create jobs for the unemployed of today, while preparing workers for the jobs of tomorrow."

Just three years later this final year bachelor student was accepted at top global financial services company Credit Suisse in Zurich, doing his international work internship (part of the criteria required for a student to graduate). 5 Jul 2017 Read more These inspiring words come from Kaylin Meyer (21), a second-year student and scholarship recipient at the TSiBA Education in Pinelands, Cape Town. 2 Jun 2017 Read more In partnership with the Deutsche Bank South Africa Foundation the Tertiary School in Business Administration (TSiBA) has launched applications for their third eight-month, modular Leading Financial Sustainability programme, created to fill the critical gap of supporting NGOs and NPOs through their journey towards financial sustainability. Even though organisations in the non-profit sector do invaluable work, various factors, including the global economic crunch, have made fundraising and organisational sustainability a challenge. 6 Feb 2017 Read more At practically every higher education forum I am asked how the TSiBA model works to provide sponsored education, aka 'free' education, to 500 students a year across two campuses. Every audience, without exception in the last year, has been completely enamoured by the success of the academic and business model and the achievements of our students and graduates. That is, until they focus on the numbers, the impact that such a small, private university can have on a problem of such immense proportions as highlighted by the #RhodesMustFall and then #FeesMustFall campaigns. 7 Nov 2016 Read more Dreams have finally been realised for some of South Africa's future leaders and entrepreneurs at the Tertiary School in Business Administration's (TSiBA) annual Graduation Ceremony. Graduates come from diverse backgrounds all over the country, but are united by their determination to study despite financial and personal challenges. 29 Aug 2016 Read more It is an unfortunate reality that during Youth Month, while we remember the sacrifice of young people in 1976 standing up for the right to be educated, South African youth are once again protesting in order to create a better future. Over twenty years into democracy there are still too many people unable to afford a tertiary education. For some it goes deeper in that the shortcomings of our schooling system limit university access due to academic reasons. 15 Jun 2016 Read more "Inclusive, good-quality education is a foundation for dynamic and equitable societies." Arch D. Tutu 24 Feb 2016 Read more As a humanitarian and peace ambassador Prem Rawat has dedicated his life to addressing humanity's essential need for peace with his extraordinary passion inspiring millions of people over the last five decades.
