Brigitte is the second winner from Stellenbosch Business School in successive years. Her article on the Fundza Literacy Fund is available in full from The Independent. According to Andrew Main Wilson, “Brigitte’s interview demonstrated how sheer passion and determination by Mignon Hardie created a value-based organization dealing with social issues.”
