Mononyane’s path into leadership began in his first year, when he joined the Social Committee. The role gave him a chance to interact with students across different programmes and backgrounds.

Those early responsibilities set the foundation for what would become a steady climb into campus leadership.

By his third year, he was elected VC Voice president, a position that now sees him encouraging students to take part in committees and initiatives that bring campus life to the forefront.

He describes his Varsity College journey as transformative.

The environment, he said, had supported not only his academic growth but also the development of essential life skills such as communication, teamwork, and resilience.

He believes this balance is what makes the campus experience meaningful.

Mononyane’s advice to both current and prospective students centres on embracing the full range of opportunities available.

He encourages students to join clubs, attend workshops, and make connections, but also to manage their time with clear boundaries to avoid burnout.

Prioritising self-care, he said, was essential, whether that means planning study schedules or making use of campus support services such as counselling and mentorship programmes.

For anyone thinking about studying at Varsity College Sandton, Mononyane sees it as a place where potential is recognised and nurtured. Students leave with more than a qualification.

“You leave more confident, more aware of your strengths and better prepared to make your mark.”
