Deputy Dean at GIBS, Professor Danie Petzer said, “We are honoured to have our faculty recognised by such a prestigious organisation, we are indeed proud of Professor Scheepers and Dr Toefy for their achievement. Case writing at GIBS had seen significant growth over the last few years and this award is testament to the quality of cases being produced by the school.”
