๐Ÿ† Wayne Fisher, Executive General Manager at Greater Cradle Hospitality, received the Golden Circle Alumnus Award, recognising remarkable achievement and contributions to the tourism and hospitality industry.

โœจ Sharon Ryan, Cluster People Development Manager at Ennismore in Dubai, received the Rising Star Alumnus Award, celebrating her innovation and achievements as an emerging industry leader.

Heritage Day is a reminder that our strength lies in recognising, respecting and celebrating the diversity that defines us.

At the University of Johannesburg, we are proud of a community where people from different cultures, backgrounds and walks of life come together to learn, collaborate and shape a better future. Inclusivity means ensuring that everyone has a place, that every voice is respected and that our differences are embraced as a source of collective strength.

In the spirit of this celebration, Hoepie and the VC bring you a special Heritage tribute from the Kruger National Park, commemorating 100 years of this extraordinary natural treasure.
