The faces of leadership in South Africa's universities

This section offers a visual exploration of the transformative landscape within public universities in South Africa. We spotlight key figures driving change: the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor and the Chairperson of the Council.

This is a glimpse of the people who are steering higher education institutions - they serve as a neutral lens into the dynamic leadership shaping the current academic landscape.

It is noticeable that the race and gender demographics of university leadership still require work. For example, at Vice Chancellor level, only 23.08% are women. The representation of other race groups like Coloured, Indian and White should also be considered.
