2008... Supporting the


growth of exceptional leaders in Africa


Oxford University Press and Te Mandela Rhodes Foundation formed an innovative shareholding partnership in 2008, pledging to promote leadership and scholarship in Africa to benefit present and future generations.


Tis partnership means that dividends paid by Oxford University Press Southern Africa to Te Mandela Rhodes Foundation fund Mandela Rhodes Scholarships, and support South African and African students to study at local universities.


Our partnership has thus far funded the scholarships of 25 students since 2008, in- cluding that of 2013 scholar Kegomoditswe Mathobela. Read about her on the next page.


Much more than a bursary, Mandela Rhodes Scholarships aim to provide scholars with the tools to be leaders in South Africa and across the African continent through various leadership development and training programmes, mirroring the example that Nelson Mandela has set for the nation.
