Abstract
Since South Africa’s first democratic election in 1994,
the student leadership profile has changed dramatically
at historically white universities (HWUs). Given
the postapartheid South African context where this
study was conducted, and how participants navigate
multiple role identities within a multicultural setting,
the article elucidates student leaders’ self-reflection
on their role identity and draws on identity theory
from the discipline of social psychology as its theoretical
framework, while referencing the roles model from
leadership studies.
