The Scholarship will commence on the 1st of September 2022, until the 1st of January 2023. During this period Mr Mkhize hopes to work closely with practitioners and scholars affiliated with the Rutgers School of Public Affairs and Administration (SPAA) and the leading public governance institution, Transparency
International, which has many members affiliated with the University and School. This will allow him to strengthen his knowledge and research skills in corruption and anti-corruption risk management – a research area that his ongoing PhD thesis focuses on. “I hope that the Fulbright Scholarship, PhD studies, networking and more hard work will contribute to me being an established researcher and scholar within the field of public governance and public policy. The need to constantly review and strengthen public governance and policy in South Africa is understated. I look forward to playing a strategic role in contributing to these vital areas,” said Mr Nkosingiphile Mkhize.
