Diversity Month success

RIGHT FOOT FORWARD - Sport Bureau's (from left) Aubrey Klaas, Zukiswa Henen, Diba Odwa Sebe, Petrus Boukes and Victoria Mrwebi were among hundreds of staff and students to enjoy a diversity walk, as a fitting celebratory end to NMMU's successful Diversity Month

Hundreds of staff and students flocked to the South Campus stadium as a fitting culmination to the highly successful Diversity Month.

Coordinated by the university's Centre for the Advancement of Non-Racialism and Democracy (CANRAD), the month included a myriad of activities catering for a variety of tastes.

And NMMU staff and student embraced the event and what is also one of NMMU's new values.

"I can't think of a better place to work (and study), can you?" NMMU Vice-Chancellor Professor Derrick Swartz asked of those who gathered at South Campus, looking every bit the rainbow nation with their brightly-coloured diversity t-shirts. In thanking everyone for their participation, Prof Swartz acknowledged NMMU's spirit of multiculturalism was "truly coming alive". "Let us continue to live through this spirit in our offices, working relations with colleagues and students, and our engagements with the outside world."
