The Klaus-Jürgen Bathe Leadership Programme was established at the University of Cape Town in 2014 through a gift donated by Professor Klaus-Jürgen Bathe of Massachusetts (USA). The primary goal of the Programme is to produce graduates with outstanding leadership qualities and with a strong sense of social justice, who will go on to play leading and significant roles in business, government, industry and civil society in South Africa and on the African continent. The Programme specifically aims to find, educate and nurture UCT undergraduate students towards becoming leaders who are able to tackle issues at the national level and uplift their countries for the betterment of all citizens.

The KJB Scholarship is a 2-year undergraduate scholarship award specifically aimed at registered UCT Undergrad students, who have 2 years remaining of their undergrad degree programme only. The recipients of the award will be known as the Klaus-Jürgen Bathe Scholars.
