Maties Crest Talks

Our Maties Crest Talks are a series of conversations with national and international leaders and icons.The aim of these talks is to inspire, strengthen, guide and intrigue current and future leaders and decision makers. Through the Maties Crest Talks we are creating a platform for leaders from different walks of life, different industries and various contexts to share their views on leadership exclusively with Maties alumni.

Previous speakers have included Rassie Erasmus, former head coach of the triumphant 2019 World Cup-winning Springboks and current director of the South African Rugby Union; Justice Edwin Cameron, Chancellor of SU and retired Constitutional Court judge; Prof Keymanthri Moodley, Director of the Centre for Medical Ethics and Law at SU; Prof Thuli Madonsela, Law Trust Chair in Social Justice at SU and former Public Protector of South Africa; Zackie Achmat, Co-director of NGO Ndifuna Ukwazi (Dare to Know), and co-founder of the Treatment Action Campaign; Prof Nicola Smit, Dean of our Faculty of Law; and Dr Naledi Pandor, South African Minister of International Relations and Cooperation.
