A new emphasis for the peri-urban province’s institution could draw clients from other similar areas, director says

Nearly a year after taking charge of the University of the Free State Business School, director Udesh Pillay is finally getting to meet his students. Pillay succeeded founding director Helena van Zyl in October 2021, but Covid kept the students from the campus.

As a peri-urban region, Pillay says Free State’s needs are different from those of provinces with a substantial degree of industrialisation. That’s why he wants to engender a culture of SME entrepreneurship. He wants to create a small-business academy, including a project incubator to help entrepreneurs get their enterprises up and running. He hopes it will be ready by the beginning of 2023.It will allow young entrepreneurs to test out ideas,” Pillay says.
