On Friday, 13 September, MUT fused two events into one: the
spring day celebration and the heritage day celebration in
honour of Heritage month. With xenophobia having dominated
our national discourse and the media over the past few months;
it was essential that the University takes a stand and raise
awareness of our diversity, celebrate our heritage and promote
tolerance of our diversity.
Traditional attire, traditional food, traditional dancers and
traditional games all set the tone for the Spring into Heritage
event. Every organisation values employee team work and when
employees are friendly towards one another, that contributes to
productivity. It was interesting to see some of the Indian
colleagues eating African cuisine and some African colleagues
participating in belly dancing.
