CPUT community urged to help students in need

Financially disadvantaged students can expect some relief thanks to an exclusive fund raising cocktail evening.

Interested parties have only one day left to RSVP for the event which will be held on Tuesday 19th June at the Cape Town Hotel School in Granger Bay.

Hosted by Vice-Chancellor Prof Mazwi-Tanga and Council Chair Mbulelo Bikwani, the glittering event will give guests the opportunity to network and reconnect while finding out more about the incredible work being done to help students in need.

Mr Bikwani is himself a grateful recipient of financial aid. His early struggles as a student saw him knocking on many doors to source funding.

“Having experienced first-hand the hardships of financing my studies, when I became Chairman of Council I knew I couldn’t accept such a prestigious role without initiating projects to make a difference to those desperate for an education,” he says.

“With this in mind, and given the challenges facing the University to maintain standards of excellence, your support and engagement, is now, more than ever, critical to the interests of CPUT. “

Those who wish to attend the function on Tuesday 19th June at the Cape Town Hotel School are advised that seats are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Please RSVP by close of business on Friday 7th June to Helena Pietersen at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
