Big day for Tshwane University of Technology

JOHANNESBURG - It’s a big day for the Tshwane University of Technology. 

The institution is celebrating 20 years since its merger with former technikons. 

It’s also hosting a fundraising gala dinner on Thursday night, to raise funds to revive Nkuna Day. 

This in remembrance of Hendrik Matikweni Nkuna, who was the first fatal casualty in a protest against academic and financial exclusions and transformation of higher education, in the early 1980s.

TUT’s Executive Dean of the Humanities Faculty, Professor Mashupye Maserumule, discussed this with eNCA.
