As part of TVET Month Minister @ButiManamela conducted unannounced visits to TVET Colleges and was able to intervene on some of the challenges highlighted by students.
Hello. Not everyone with a Masters Degree or PHD wants to go into academia. Not all graduates want the rigorous demands of academic output - writing, publishing, peer review- often with very little pay. So a South African may very well have a PHD but its purpose is not working at a University. Also, many graduates do not want a full time tenure as lecturers.
Anyone who HAS a post graduate degree also knows that you don't have one lecturer for a course. I may teach IR, but my module may be SA Foreign Policy. 3 weeks later, another lecturer in the same course, comes to teach on China, or AI, the AU, Africa and Slavery. A post graduate degree is not about South Africa only.
Anyway, the Summer break is over. Wish me luck, as I, a foreigner, begin a new chapter as a part time member of faculty. I will be teaching a post graduate module on Narrative Power In The Emerging World Order to INTERNATIONAL post graduate students. Have a nice day snd a sharpened gaze on the world around you. ๐

There was no better moment to honour the memory of the late Comrade Crosby Moni, NUM Deputy President, SACP Central Committee and ANC MP. This monument represents his ideals and vision of a village that is able to invest in production, create opportunities, and build a sustainable local economy. In his memory, we shall use this centre not for personal accumulation of wealth, but as an instrument to transform the economic outlook of the village and improve the lives of its people.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Comrade and Minister Gwede Mantashe for making this monument possible and for helping preserve the legacy and vision of Comrade Crosby Moni.@ewnupdates@Dispatch_DD@SABCNews@News24@ButiManamela@GwedeMantashe1@OscarMabuyane
