The buzz at MUT is palpable as a wave of gratitude sweeps through the offices and departments, igniting a sense of camaraderie among colleagues. Though there was no grand announcement or flashy fanfare; instead, a collective understanding filled the air, a powerful recognition of their hard work and dedication.
As the news of the increment and honorarium spread, staff members, eagerly expressed their heartfelt thanks to the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Dr Anette Mienie, and the Acting DVC: Resources and Planning, Bulelani Mahlangu, and the workers union, NEHAWU (MUT). It is a gesture that, while simple, has resonated deeply within the MUT community, and a surge of appreciation has rippled through the campus.
Dr Mienie spoke with conviction in one meeting, capturing the mood of many as she highlighted their unity with the Mahlangu, the MUT executive, NEHAWU, and the MUT Council; they are all dedicated to placing MUT at the forefront. “Together,” she declared, “we are focused on the greater good of our Institution!” Mahlangu also said, “I share the same sentiments as Dr Mienie. We are putting our people first”.
Around campus, the atmosphere is thrumming with excitement. Colleagues are sharing smiles and supportive nods, feeling truly acknowledged and valued. The spirit of collaboration between leadership, NEHAWU, and MUT Council is being celebrated! It is a moment of triumph that has left everyone energised and ready to take on the future together!
Dr Kevin Ramsarghey, Dean of the Faculty of Management Sciences, said: “Thank you Dr Mienie on behalf of all staff members,” Dr Mienie said it was the effort of everyone, and both Dr Mienie and Dr Ramsarghey, thanked the Finance staff for the great effort in making this a success.
