MESSAGE FROM THE COLLEGE PRINCIPAL
‘Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world’- Nelson Mandela.
This quote reminds us of the power of education and that it’s not something that can be taken for granted.
The college had many, achievements, highlights and challenges during 2023. Reflecting on this year brings
pride, we built on achievements and progress of 2022. These experiences can be added and used as part of
the leadership, growth and management of the institution.
In the last year of our 5 year strategy, the College continued to increase post-school opportunities for the
large cohort of students who wish to continue with their studies. We indeed continued to strive for excellence
in realizing our vision of being a ‘pathway to an improved socio-economic development’ and focused on:
· Acceleration of infrastructure development through the conditional CIEG grant
· Initiating the upgrade of workshops
· Initiating back up energy at Campuses to ensure uninterrupted service
· Focused application of accreditation in responsive occupational programes
· Appointments in strategic units of the College
· New partnership opportunities for student and staff placements.
· Students and staff capacity building
· Continued Developing and implementation of College policies
This being the last year with the College Council, I would like to thank the outgoing Council for their oversight,
leadership, and support during their time of office. We look forward to welcoming the new College Council
and believe the firm foundation set will enable them to continue building this ‘pathway to an improved socio-
economic development’. I’m also extending warm gratitude to the SRC who have shown great leadership in
guiding our students. Words fail me in expressing my sincerest gratitude to the staff of NCUTVET for their
continued commitment to the course. You remain the ‘wind under my wings’.
Mr B T Madalane
College Principal
