MINISTER NZIMANDE TO OFFICIALLY OPEN NEW AND RENOVATED BUILDINGS AT WALTER SISULU UNIVERSITY
The Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, Dr Blade Nzimande, will officially open the new and renovated buildings at the Walter Sisulu University, Mthatha Campus.
The Walter Sisulu University has concluded a refurbishment project that started in February of 2022 on lecture halls now fitted with ultra-modern technologies at the institution’s Mthatha Campus. The lecture halls situated in the East Teaching Mall at the Nelson Mandela Drive (NMD) site will be using the latest technologies to enhance teaching and learning experiences through the use of smartboards and wireless connections.
The newly renovated lecture halls are also accommodative of students living with disabilities while two of them also accommodate lecturers with disabilities.
The refurbishment of the infrastructure was done and concluded to restore the dignity of all WSU students, as the spaces in which they were previously taught in, were not giving them the dignity they deserve.
Members of the media are invited to join Minister Nzimande, East Cape Premier, Mr Oscar Mabuyane, Chairperson of Council, Walter Sisulu University, Adv Tembeka Ngcukaitobi and the Walter Sisulu University, Vice-Chancellor & Principal, Prof Rushiella Songca as follows:
Date: 21 April 2023
