There is currently no definitive evidence in the public domain that any of the GIBS alumni have received any significant external national or international awards through publicly available award sites.
From what is available through the general public and institutionally based records, we can see that:
The majority of the publicly available record sites describe the various awards that have been awarded to GIBS as an organization: e.g. “2021 Business School of the Year – South” or “2021 Best Emerging Business School.”
Most of the documentation available regarding individual GIBS alumni who have received major awards from an external organisation is not available through an authorative source verified by reputable organisations.
In general GIBS alumni are widely described as having achieved success in their careers/organisations as well as through entrepreneurship and the launching of new ventures rather than through major external awards.
Some GIBS alumni have moved into positions that are typically higher-level management or leadership in; they have successfully launched their own company (s), or gone on to have other successful roles within their industry, however these are typically communicated more as a result of their placement or lifestyle changes instead of a formal award.
Conclusion;
GIBS has a number of institutional awards, but there are very few publicly available documented instances of alumni having received an external national or international award.
