As water continues to be a scarce resource around the world, Mangosuthu University Technology (MUT) and the Department of Health, Umgeni Water, and eThekwini Municipality joined forces to commemorate National Water Week.  At the event, which was hosted by MUT’s Department of Environmental Health on Tuesday 19 March 2019, all parties harmoniously sent out a strong message that water was a fundamental human need and played an essential role in all forms of life.

In an attempt to equip new students with the necessary foundation to enable them to adapt to life at residences and cope with the shock of having to share living spaces with other fellow students, the MUT’s Student Housing Unit hosted this year’s residence orientation on Saturday, 16 March 2019 for students residing at the on-campus residences.

Ndlelenhle Jiyane, a warden in one of the main campus residences, said the aim of the Orientation was to give the students a head start.
