Reflections of South African 
Student Leaders


Reflections of South African Student Leaders 1994-2017
brings together the reflections of twelve former SRC leaders from
across the landscape of South African universities. Reviews of the
previous volume, 1981-2014 suggested that it contributed significantly
to a better understanding of the stringent demands of visionary and
transformative leadership required by university leaders in the
fastchanging and increasingly complex public higher education sector.

This
volume is based on comprehensive interviews with former student
leaders, each of whom provided a personal account in their own words of
their experience in the position of student leadership. The interviewees
are from different backgrounds and of diverse political persuasions.
The book is important for current and future leaders of higher education
institutions as it provides insights into the thinking, aspirations,
desires, fears and modus operandi of student leaders. Such insight can
contribute to developing and implementing appropriate strategies for
achieving meaningful and constructive engagement with current and future
student leaders.
