Gift of the Givers back on its good mission

File picture – Gift of the Givers have been with MUT for some time

The Humanitarian Aid Agency, known as Gift of the Givers, has recommitted to assisting MUT’s indigent students, mostly those in the missing middle. This is the 4th year of Gift of Givers’ consistent support to these students since the official launch of the MUT Indigent Student Pantry in 2023. “I wish to urge lecturers and Student Affairs to assist in identifying these students. As we noted in 2023, Gift of the Givers’ projects at MUT demonstrate the breadth and depth of a sustainable stakeholder engagement project and its ongoing support for MUT. We are overjoyed that they have once again chosen MUT as one of its friends”, said Mbali Mkhize, Senior Director of Marketing and Communications. Not long ago, Marketing and Communications informed the Acting Vice-Chancellor and Principal, Dr Anette Mienie and her executive that students trapped in queues would receive cooked meals, without hesitation, Gift of the Givers provided cooked meals for students.  Dishing and serving more than 500 students a day for 11 days was a mammoth and ‘hard work’ that was executed with great care and dignity by the Marketing and Communications team, peer helpers and staff from Maintenance department.
