     WELCOME MESSAGE FROM CHANCELLOR, PROF. M.S. LEBESE

    It is a pleasure for me to welcome you to a problem-solving platform that is set  to fast-track you on your academic research endeavors. Notice that it is a center set up to put you in the center of our focus in pursuit of your research activity. It is this that makes this G-CAR unique. You, the learner, are the focus of attention throughout until your theses or dissertation is complete. You the learner are at the center or the core of what we do. You are likened to the g-force, which is a measurement of the type of acceleration that causes a perception of weight. When your research progress is accelerated, only then can a measurement be taken. You will be mechanically forced to enhance your progression because you are at the center of this compulsive act. ‘The g-force acceleration (except certain electromagnetic force influences) is the cause of an object's acceleration in relation to free fall. ‘ Through the G-CAR programme, you will not be allowed free fall nor a free hike but will be propelled to greater heights here to be reached. You all know that in many institutions of higher learning students take forever to complete their postgraduate research work due to a number of challenges in South African Universities noted by Costa (2018) as: 
    • Delays in receiving feedback from supervisors 
    • Lack of guidelines stipulating supervision 
    • Poor supervision - i.e. no schedule for meetings, no records of discussions, etc. 
    • No mechanisms for redress (40%) 
    • Supervisors always too busy to meet students 
    • Inadequate preparation for postgraduate study 
    • Heavy teaching loads for faculty members 
    • Unnecessary administrative assignments 
    With the above in mind, G-CAR is poised to address the issues in the interest of the student in the center of the academic platform. G-CAR welcomes all students from different institutions of higher learning who need support in their research activity. I look forward to meeting you in our next contact session.

    Have you ever asked yourself this question, "What makes me do what I do when I do    what I do", Professor M.S. Lebese deals with this issue in an article entitled " The Role of   the Word-Acaid Philosophy in Directing Human Behaviour and Performance in All         Situations."

     Besides providing teaching, learning and research coaching services to postgraduate students from any university, the G-CAR is also a teaching and learning centre for the South Valley University for the MPhil and PhD programmes in Business Leadership and Management.
