Benefit Concert
WORTHY CAUSE: Representatives from the Faculty of Education who are organising the Benefit Concert
Friday, 18 October 2024
The Faculty of Education is hosting a benefit concert in a bid to raise funds for their Student Emergency Fund.
The fund was established several years ago and relies on charity donations from lecturers. The funds are used to assist students who are battling to cover their daily living cost, such as travelling fares to university
Lecturer Jeremy Koeberg says the current economic climate saw the need for the fund to increase.
To raise the much-needed funds, the faculty will host a Benefit Concert in its Main Hall on the Mowbray Campus on Friday, 19 October at 10h00. The concert will showcase a wide range of cultural items by the faculty’s students and staff, including music, dance, poetry and drama.
A highlight of the day will be the Mr and Miss Teacher Competition where contestants will be quizzed on the qualities of a good teacher.
Mthobeli Mankayi, from the faculty’s local Student Representative Council Representative, says students support this initiative.
“Two students were recently left homeless when a blaze razed their shacks to the ground, I was glad when the fund was used to alleviate their plight,” says Mthobeli.
Admission tickets cost R10 each for students and R20 for staff members. Members of the public are also welcome.
Tickets can be purchased from Kulsum (Mowbray Campus) on 021 680 1506 or Nandipha (Bellville Campus) on 021 959 6245.
