Asked how his past experience has prepared him for this role, Makaula said:
“I’m a higher education leader, a quality management and assurance professional, an advocate for higher education quality through transformation, excellence and accountability. I bring a wide range of experience in development and implementation of national higher education, and institutional academic, policies and quality assurance frameworks.”
