Company description
The seed for a Centre for Higher Education Transformation (CHET) was incubated in what Dick Fehnel called the ‘coffee grounds of Braamfontein’. During that percolating period of the mid-1990s Braamfontein was being rejuvenated by the anti-apartheid NGOs, in close proximity to the post–apartheid development aid agencies, and the still politically incorrect but ever present, Wits University. The idea for CHET received its political approval in mid-1996 at a Magaliesburg retreat which was attended by a plethora of ‘new heavy weights’ – Sibusiso Bengu, Blade Nzimande, Sipho Pityana, Nasima Badsha and Naledi Pandor.
