Altron’s Mteto Nyati receives honorary doctorate
JSE-listed Altron Group CEO Mteto Nyati has received an honorary doctorate from the University of Johannesburg’s College of Business and Economics.
“The institution recognises the outstanding contribution of Nyati, driven by elevating others, service, integrity, excellence and fairness,” said University of Johannesburg Vice-Chancellor Professor Tshilidzi Marwala, presiding over the graduation ceremony on October 22.
“It is such an honour for me to receive a degree from an institution whose vision is to dynamically shape the future. As a pragmatic engineer, I fully align with your values of imagination, conversation, regeneration, and ethical foundation. These values speak to me,” said Nyati, accepting the degree.
Nyati said his parents instilled a life-long love of learning and entrepreneurship in him, as detailed in his bestselling book, Betting on a Darkie. He also thanked his wife for always listening to and coaching him and noted that the university had made his dream come true.
Further, he expressed appreciation for his primary and secondary school teachers, as well as the various companies for which he had worked.
Altron chairperson Stewart van Graan commended Nyati for the accolade, noting that he had grown Altron into a solid position of growth during his leadership.
“We are immensely proud of Mteto, he thoroughly deserves this great honour.”
This latest recognition comes in the same year that Nyati won the EY World Entrepreneur Award Southern Africa in acknowledgment of his turnaround of companies.
