The Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences learnt with sadness of the passing yesterday of Prof Johan Matthee, Dean of this faculty from 1996 to 2001.

Prof Matthee joined the (then) Department of Accountancy in 1966 and made a substantial contribution to the development of both the Department and the Faculty.

We pay homage to his memory.
