The CFO has profusely tanked the Department of Marketing and Communications for making themselves available to help in the registration process. “Thank you so much for the leadership, for caring, for the spirit of self-sacrifice demonstrated by yourself and your team,” Bulelani Mahlangu said. Mahlangu praised the level of professionalism shown by the four members of the department that started helping in the registration process on Tuesday, 20 January 2026. The CFO said, Sthembile Maphumulo-Ndlovu, Ayanda Bulose, Nganele Dube, and Jade Mthiyane, provided high level of assistance. The team reported that the queues are getting shorter and shorter. “The queue is moving fast, look!” said Sthembile Maphumulo-Ndlovu. The Marcomms colleagues are doing a very crucial part of the process, issuing the firm offers to prospective students. The freshmen and women cannot register without this stage. Another “unsung hero” in this effort is Lizwi Masondo, the Safety, Health and Environment Officer. From the first day of registration, Masondo has been to all the registration stations, checking if everything was going right. But what is more important is that he contributes very constructive suggestions that make the process more efficient.
One of the prospective students that benefited immensely from the efforts of the Department of Marketing and Communications was Luyanda Magubane, from Henley Dam, in Pietermaritzburg. Magubane was in the queue, waiting for feedback from the team. Magubane was one the 10 students that submitted their credentials to the team so they could be given SMS confirmation with a student number and banking details. After this step she would go pay at the bank. She will be studying Pre-Tech of Chemical Engineering.
Magubane passed her grade 12 last year. She said she would feel proud to have registered with MUT as that will make her come closer to her dreams.
