The Department of Marketing and Communications has partnered with the Safety, Health and Environmental Officer to create ‘MUT Mondays’. At 8.30 am every Monday, these two divisions will take photos of those wearing University-branded attire. “This is an invitation to everyone to don the MUT colours on Mondays, and to celebrate and showcase brand pride as the MUT rolls out IGNITE2030, the Institution’s strategy for 2026 – 2030,” said Lizwi Masondo, Safety, Health and Environmental Officer. Last Monday, there was significant excitement when the team stopped staff and students in MUT-branded gear to take a group photo. “Wearing University-branded clothing every Monday is an important way for both staff and students to collectively strengthen MUT’s identity and visibility. It creates a sense of unity and belonging, reminding everyone that they are part of a shared mission and community. Consistently showcasing MUT colours also reinforces institutional pride, and helps build a recognisable brand presence on and beyond campus. This simple act is set to boost morale and foster a positive culture in which students and staff feel connected to the University’s values and aspirations. As ‘MUT Mondays’ grow, they become a weekly celebration of who we are and what we stand for as a University,” said Mbali Mkhize, Senior Director: Marcomms.
