According to UCT, Chibale has received worldwide recognition for his work. In 2018, Fortune magazine named him one of the world’s 50 greatest leaders.

“As a hard-core natural scientist and entrepreneur, I believe in the power of science to transform lives and create jobs,” he said. “Encouraging, supporting and incentivising scientific entrepreneurship will help move the continent of Africa forward.”

Chibale said he hoped it would inspire and encourage other black researchers to use the disadvantage they feel and/or experience on the basis of their race as an advantage. He said that youth from various ethnic, social and economic backgrounds needed inspirational role models who stood for world-class excellence in whatever they did, including in leadership and politics. Being the only African-based researcher on the list was significant in this regard, Chibale said
