He further encouraged the new governance body to be radical and disciplined as they are the vanguards of the students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour job is to push for policies that are student biased and push the management to meet your needs,\u201d he said, further emphasising that this generation is born in a self-made poor country as it is led by poor leadership, saying \u2018our problems begin at this level of leadership\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are a corrupt SRC, you become poor future leaders. It is upon you to change the lives of the students. You will then join politics with clear understanding of economics. Practice economical politics not politics of greed,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Thabane concluded by encouraging the ministers to take this opportunity to find their identity and merge it with education so as to manoeuvre through life, whether one chooses to be employed or an entrepreneur.<\/p>\n<p>Opening the ceremony, the Dean and Head of the campus, Dr Abhishek Ranjan, encouraged the students and new SRC members to learn and earn their skills with integrity as unfortunately Lesotho is a hard place to earn money equal to one\u2019s value.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish you all the best in your one year in office. The management will ensure that you get all the facilities you need to fulfil your responsibilities,\u201d Dr Ranjan said.<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks, the outgoing Vice President, Hlokomelang Koetje, expressed his gratitude to the management and the student union for believing in them to lead, and supporting them with resources that helps their performance and completing their duties at their level best, as well as ensuring the harmony and stability within the school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuilt your future with this opportunity and know what your followers want. And learn from your mistakes and acquire conflict resolutions skills as well as problem solving.<\/p>\n<p>Make every moment count because time flies,\u201d Koetje encouraged the new government. He closed his speech with a quote: \u201cA great leader is one who becomes what their followers need.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Botho University was established in 1997 and has rapidly evolved over the years to become a leading multidisciplinary high-quality tertiary education provider; the university aspires to be an integral player in building an economically diversified, fast growing, and prosperous Lesotho, built on integrity, excellence, inclusiveness and financial viability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
