After 12 years among the world’s best, the MBA offered by the University of Cape Town’s Graduate School of Business (GSB) has fallen off the 2017 London Financial Times (FT) Top 100 ranking of full-time programmes. The school has made plenty of marketing capital from its star status in the past so it’s no wonder that director Mills Soko admits to being deeply disappointed. Without GSB, there are no African schools on the FT list. "That is cause for real concern," he says. Pretoria University’s Gordon Institute of Business Science (Gibs) will learn in a few weeks if it has retained its place on a separate FT ranking for executive MBAs.
