TUT Sekhukhune Campus in Bapedi Nation
The Bapedi Kingdom and Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) have announced plans to establish a campus in the Sekhukhune district.
The Bapedi royal house and Tshwane University of Technology have already identified the old Sekhukhune College of Teaching as the site where the campus will be based.
The Bapedi Kingdom and TUT have signed a memorandum of understanding yesterday May 20th at Tjate III Palace, for the establishment of the Sekhukhune TUT Campus in the near future.
Deputy Vice Chancellor in Teaching, Learning and Technology, Professor Stanley Mukhola, says the TUT Sekhukhune Campus will primarily focus on the fields of mining and agriculture.
“We realise that there is nothing dealing with mining, there is a very good infrastructure, the Sekhukhune training college, the old one, where we say now we can make use of that facility,” says Mukhola.
Sekhukhune Development Agency – an agency of Sekhukhune District Municipality is one of the key institutions that will drive the rollout of this new Sekhukhune TUT Campus.
The Bapedi Royal House says the late King Victor Thulare III, had envisioned establishing a university in Sekhukhune.
This historic development MOU was singed by Her Majesty the Acting Queen of Bapedi Nation, Queen Mother Manyaku Thulare and TUT Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Murembiwa Stanley Mukhola at Bapedi Kingdom capital Mohlaletse in Fetakgomo Tubatse.
