Chancellor’s Address | UNISA Graduation 2026

As graduates continue to cross the stage during this graduation season, Prof Walter Matli, Executive Dean and CEO of the UNISA Graduate School of Business Leadership (SBL), delivered a powerful Chancellor’s Address that challenged us to think differently about leadership.

His message was clear; leadership is not about titles or positions. It is about integrity, accountability, courage, and creating meaningful change where it matters most.

Addressing the realities of unemployment, inequality, governance, service delivery, and sustainable development, he reminded graduates that the future will be shaped by leaders who are willing to serve, solve problems, and make a difference in the lives of others.

“What is the point of a clean audit if the child still has no textbook? What is the point of a perfect tender process if the water still does not flow?”

As we celebrate the Class of 2026 and all those still to graduate in the coming weeks, may this be a reminder that a qualification is more than an achievement. It is an opportunity to lead with purpose and leave a lasting impact.

Congratulations, graduates. Your journey is only beginning.
