What is it about?
This autoethnography, tells the story of one tertiary institution where the diversification process happened in a fair and transparent manner. Can lessons be learned from the way the institution (staff and students) implemented diversity? Reflecting on the experiences helps to progress past the experience and provide an understanding of social capital harvested to enable diversification

Why is it important?
The diversification process within the SA context is unique and contrasts to other diversity studies, as it focuses on the marginalization and or exclusion faced by a majority group when taken into a dominant minority group setting. . This study has implications for those facing increased diversity in education due to globalisation.
Perspectives
Female voices in recounting accounting history is rare, this paper uses a woman’s voice to recount and analyse challenges that the head of the accounting department faced in diversifying at the end of apartheid in South Africa.
