Kgomotso Sekhute (Tsogo 1986)

Alumni Profile of Kgomotso Grace Sekhute. Now proudly Kgomotso, since my conversion days at Varsity!

I started at Tsogo High School in 1983 and matriculated in 1986. Earlier, I attended Nong Primary School in Mabopane and remember fondly how my dad would walk me to school in winter go tshela nokana! I studied at the University of the Witwatersrand first (BA Social Sciences) and proceeded to Medunsa (Now University of Limpopo for my post graduation studies. I qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 1995. In 2002 I completed the Programme in Business Leadership, with UNISA School of Business Leadership.

Currently, I head up the Talent Management Centre of Excellence for Rand Merchant Bank. My role is fascinating because it entails constantly finding innovative ways of attracting, developing and retaining top talent.

Before this role I consulted to a range of Public and Private sector organisations as a Human Capital management specialist (1999 and 2010), where I was involved in several diversity/transformation, leadership development and change management initiatives.

Alumni Profile of Tshepo Patrick Kgobe

When did you start and finish at Tsogo?

Started in 1986 and matriculated in 1991

Where did you do your other schooling?

I started Mpho Primary in block C(Grade 1), Then went to Matsepa in Block B (Grade 2,3 and 4), then completed my last two years of primary with Ntsie in Block C (Grade 5 and 6) all in Mabopane. The reason for this moving around was my father being an educator was always looking for the best benefit for his kids in education and discipline.

What further education institutions did you attend?

I went University of Kwazulu Natal (UKZN) Westville campus (B.Sc. Civil Engineering) and UKZN Durban campus (Post graduate diploma in business management).

What do you currently do?

I have Multiple roles at the current moment and that is the way I like it, I am Executive Director at Hatch Africa, I am responsible for Business development, Transformation and Black Economic Empowerment, I am also responsible for Corporate Social Investments, I still remain fully involved in core business which is EPCM projects.

I enjoy what I do because it allows me to do what I cherish the most in life and that is to see people develop to their full potential. Africa can only start to grow when Africa develops its key resource “People”. The job also allows me to be reminded everyday of the greatest principle of success “Gratitude”.

ReConnecting 2001

In Alumni Projects, Website

What?

A database of contact information setup for alumni to be able to connect with each other from every year. This year we are starting with a number of alumni years, the first being 2001. Alumni can also provide information about other alumni so as to build the database.

Why?

A number of alumni have indicated that having information about classmates/alumni from their year would be a service they would want to have and use. We do not publicly make available our general database but will avail databases that are specific to years. They will be populated by alumni for other alumni.

Who? – 2001 Matriculants

Grade 11A -2000

Grade 11 B -2000

Grade 11 C -2000

 

 

 

 

 

 

Calling on all 2001 Matriculants. You can now fill in a contact form for your specific year and re-establish contact with your classmates.

  • To fill in the form go here http://bit.ly/tsogo2001, you can also fill in information about another alumnus if you have their email address
  • To view the spreadsheet  http://bit.ly/tsogo2001sheet but please fill in the form first.

This is a new service that is being tested out for alumni. Once alumni have signed up on the service/filled in their information the spreadsheet will be closed and only viewable by alumni from that year. To make it work Alumni from 2001 have to provide their information.

Other Ways to Connect

We have an active on
