CUT strengthens partnerships for inclusive student success at the Vice Chancellor and SRC Scholarship Luncheon

CUT hosted its inaugural Vice-Chancellor and SRC Scholarship Luncheon, bringing together industry partners and sponsors, public sector stakeholders, student leadership and the broader university community around a shared vision of advancing student success and transforming lives through education.

In her keynote address, Vice-Chancellor and Principal Prof. Pamela Dube reminded attendees that behind every outstanding student account is a deeply human story of a young person carrying the hopes of a family and striving to create a better future despite significant challenges.

Throughout the luncheon, the message remained clear; education has the power to transform lives, but transformation becomes possible when institutions, industry, government, and society work together. By strengthening partnerships between higher education, industry, government and society, CUT continues to position itself as a future-focused, student-centred University of Technology committed to inclusive growth, social impact, and sustainable student success.

CUT Welkom Campus hosts landmark Professorial Inaugural Address by Prof. Bekithemba Dube

CUT marked another proud milestone in its academic journey as the Welkom Campus hosted the Professorial Inaugural Address of Professor Bekithemba Dube, Full Professor in Curriculum Studies and Director of the Centre for Diversity in Higher Education Research. Family, friends, colleagues, and distinguished guests gathered to celebrate a defining moment in both Prof. Dube’s career and the university’s academic legacy.

Vice-Chancellor and Principal, Professor Pamela Dube, set the tone for the evening, describing the Professorial Inaugural Address as one of academia’s highest honours, a tradition that recognises sustained excellence in research, teaching, postgraduate supervision, and intellectual leadership. More than a ceremony, she noted, it is an opportunity for a scholar to share the ideas and experiences that have shaped their contribution to knowledge and society.

That contribution was powerfully evident in Prof. Dube’s address, titled “Does Humanity Matter, to Whom and Why? Intersectionality of Curriculum, Politics and Religion: Theorising from Postcolonial Thinking to the Decolonial Turn.” In a lecture that was both intellectually rigorous and deeply reflective, he challenged the audience to confront an uncomfortable reality that curriculum, politics, and religion have too often been weaponised to sustain oppression, exclusion, and dehumanisation in postcolonial African societies, rather than serve as instruments of liberation.
