On 26 March 2026, academics, students, university leaders and government officials gathered at a hotel on the East Rand, outside Johannesburg, to celebrate the launch of Innovative Pedagogies for Entrepreneurship Education: Insights and Reflections from South Africa, a 22-chapter volume published by Springer Nature, drawing on case studies from twelve South African universities.
Dr Phethiwe Matutu, Chief Executive Officer of Universities South Africa (USAf), officially opened the event, positioning the publication as a milestone in the evolution of the Entrepreneurship Development in Higher Education (EDHE) programme.
“This is history in our development as the EDHE programme,” she said, noting that the book reflects a growing body of scholarship grounded in the South African context and brings together contributions in entrepreneurial pedagogy from across the higher education sector.
Serving as Programme Director, Mr Mahlubi Mabizela (left), Director of Operations and Sector Support at USAf, reinforced the evening’s tone. “This evening is about more than a book launch,” he told the audience. “It is a celebration of collaboration, imagination, and shared purpose.”
