“What you did yesterday doesn’t matter, it is what you are doing today.” This is the motto of the head of the Centre for Entrepreneurship Rapid Incubator (CfERI) at Nelson Mandela University, Dr Thobekani Lose, a leading researcher and specialist in student entrepreneurship development and business incubation development.
CfERI was established at Mandela University in 2024 to help students and young people in the region to develop entrepreneurial skills and change their mindset from job seeker to job-creator.
“If we want to lower the massive unemployment levels, we need our universities to be the cornerstone of entrepreneurship,” says Lose.
