Ms Mary Hilton

KJB Scholarship Manager

I am honoured to be the Klaus-Jürgen Bathe Leadership Scholarships manager. It allows me to continue my involvement in education and make a meaningful impact on the next generation. After 29 years at UCT, I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experiences and creating a vibrant community of young leaders who continue to strive to improve the lives of many in South Africa.

The remarkable achievements of KJB scholars truly inspire me. From pioneering startups and global climate change initiatives to prestigious academic pursuits and leadership roles across various sectors, their successes are a testament to the impact of the KJB Leadership Scholarship Programme. Professor Bathe takes immense pride in their accomplishments and the positive change they are making in society today.

I look forward to working with the new intake of scholars and connecting with the alumni.
