Thirteen students from Mangosuthu University of Technology (MUT), accompanied by two staff members from the Marcomms department, spent a day volunteering at the Childhood Cancer Foundation (CHOC) at Inkosi Albert Luthuli Hospital on 25 November 2025. Their visit was filled with compassion and energy as they packed Christmas gifts and hampers, played with children, and offered emotional support to families. Beyond spreading festive cheer, the volunteers assisted with administrative tasks, including registration and consent forms for parents attending consultations and the Christmas party.
The experience left a lasting impression on the group, who described it as humbling and deeply rewarding. “What an experience, being an MUT student is a blessing,” said Nobuhle Goba, one of the student volunteers, who also hosts an interfaith show on MUT Radio every Sunday from 10h00 to 12h00. The initiative reflects MUT’s commitment to community engagement and the spirit of giving back.
