This year’s competition, co-funded by the Department of Higher Education and Training’s University Capacity Development Programme (DHET UCDP) and UJ’s Strategic Initiatives & Administration Division, saw fierce competition, with Gugulethu Ndlovu from North-West University (NWU) ultimately claiming first place.
UJ’s own Isac Mabunda delivered a captivating presentation, securing a well-deserved second place. Louise Fullard from NWU took third place, while Kamvelihle Bili captivated the audience and earned the coveted People’s Choice Award.
