Wednesday, 24 October 2012

The array of talent displayed by students from the Faculty of Education during its Benefit Concert had the 400-strong crowd entertained throughout the event.

The concert, which was a first of its kind, aimed at raising funds for the faculty’s Student Emergency Fund. The funds are used to assist students who are battling to cover their daily living cost, such as traveling fares to university.

The audience in Mowbray Campus’ Main Hall were awed by the mesmerizing performances of music, dance, poetry, comedy and drama. Among the faculty‘s staff members who were in the audience was the faculty’s dean, Prof Thobeka Mda who also expressed her support for the concert.

The CPUT Drama group performed a play called, A Deadly Affair, which had a humorous take on a married couple who deals with issues of infidelity and murder.

Student choirs from Mowbray and Bellville campuses as well as a student pianist and a group of rappers rendered musical items.

Students also took the stage to compete in the Mr and Miss Teacher contest.

The event was produced by the faculty’s Dr Clive Kronenberg and sponsored by Henry Oliver, Mustura Arend, JUTA and Sunset Bay Trading.
