Final Business Graduation
STANDING OVATION: Robertson Khan Tengeh smiles broadly as he receives his doctorate in Public Management at the final Business Graduation ceremony
Wednesday, 18 April 2012
No less than nine Masters (MTech) degrees and one doctoral (DTech) degree were conferred today in front of an exuberant audience at this year’s fourth and final Faculty of Business graduation ceremony.
A delighted Robertson Khan Tengeh not only received his doctorate in Public Management but also a standing ovation from dignitaries like Vice Chancellor L V Mazwi-Tanga, Dean of the Business Faculty, Prof Binza and guest speaker Ms Xoliswa Daku-Calana.
Daku-Calana is the CEO of DCI Holdings, a company focused on property development and strategic project management in the public sector.
She explained her recipe for certain success, including the importance of self-belief and forgetting negative thoughts and fear of failure.
She also spoke of the value of hard work and leaving nothing to chance, and most importantly – not expecting any hand-outs in achieving one’s goals.
Also honoured at the ceremony was Dean’s Medallist, Jennifer Katsch, who received her National Diploma in Event Management with an aggregate of 84.48% over her three years of study.
Graduation continues this evening on the Bellville Campus where the Faculty of Health and Wellness Sciences will confer certificates, diplomas, BTech and Mtech degrees on graduates in the Departments of Radiography, Dental Technology, Somatology and Emergency Medical Care, amongst others.
