A “pitso” is a typical African concept, as it refers to a “calling for expertise”. When a tribal leader in Africa gathers or calls on stakeholders and experts to mediate, deliberate, and decide on a matter, it is called a pitso.

Our dynamic Pitso series calls together leaders in the field to deliberate on current matters affecting our country and the way we do business; it is an immediate and “to the point” gathering done via a virtual video platform. Our Pitso series further references internationalisation and the key concept of “inter-nation”, implying a relationship between and among countries, people, systems, and cultures from whom we can learn and who can learn from us when it comes to doing business—globally and more specifically, in Africa. Keep an eye on our online platforms for an invitation to our next Pitso. Our Pitso webinars are designed to be highly responsive, to the point, high quality interviews of thought leaders by staff members of the NWU Business School addressing burning issues affecting business and society.
