Teachers and employees of the Ehlanzeni TVET College's Mashishing Campus were awarded top honours.
A big celebration took place on Friday March 11, when Glencore Ferroalloys handed over eight new classrooms worth R5m.
The senior lecturers, Charmaine Joubert and Ellen Mateke, received their awards from Dr Nick Balkrishen, Department of Higher Education and Training’s regional manager for the North West and Mpumalanga, and its director general, Dr Nkosinathi Sishi.
Bongani Kwayiyo, Mashishing Campus manager, and lecturers Tembe Aniki, Bathobile Mashego and Matjie Thabang were also honoured by the department.
The Mashishing Campus is the youngest of seven in the Ehlanzeni Region, and has already walked away with two trophies after coming out on top in two programmes during the 2021 November examinations. In the national certificate (vocational) the campus achieved 96% and 94% in the second-semester business studies examination, and outside of academic performance, the campus won the first principal’s award for being the cleanest campus over the 2021 academic year.
Through this partnership with the Department of Public Works and the Department of Higher Education and Training, the campus was able to construct new classrooms to increase student capacity.
