The Vice Chancellor Expresses Thoughts in a Letter to TUT Academics
During the Academic Excellence Awards, Prof Tinyiko Maluleke, VC and Principal, presented the Service Beyond Call of Duty Award to Johannes Nkambule, Assistant Registrar. In recognition of the remarkable contributions of these TUT staff members, the VC and Principal read a letter addressed to TUT academics. Among other sentiments expressed, he stated,
“Look around you, in this country, in this continent, and elsewhere in the world, there is nothing quite like TUT. And you, my dear colleagues, researchers, lecturers, innovators, are the secret sauce; you are the value proposition, you are the unique selling point.”
Prof Maluleke encouraged academics to maintain their high productivity, emphasizing,
“You know better than to allow prevailing circumstances to be your limit. You are TUT’s best. You are far better than Mamelodi Sundowns Football Club. The sky is not your limit. You are. You are your own limit.”
Concluding his address, Prof Maluleke remarked,
“You are part of the glorious first generation of TUT academics and researchers who, in 20 short years, have changed the higher education game in South Africa. Together with the entire cohort of excellent TUT academics over the past 20 years, we celebrate you tonight.”
