Press release statement on the appointment of the new Vice-Chancellor & Principal: Dr Enoch Duma Malaza, MUT
MUT Council Chairperson, Mr Morailane Morailane has on behalf of Mangosuthu University of Technology (MUT) Council welcomed the commencement of duties of Dr Enoch Duma Malaza as the new Vice-Chancellor & Principal with effect from 02 May 2024.
Dr Malaza is a well-grounded academic, researcher and executive administrator in higher education. His experience ranges from being Acting Vice-Chancellor at the former University of the Transkei now Walter Sisulu University; Chief Executive Officer of Higher Education South Africa (HESA) now called USAf among other renowned institutions he has worked for.
Dr Malaza’s response was, “It is a priviledge and honour to get the opportunity to serve MUT.” The Chairperson of Council, Mr Morailane Morailane, said, “We are confident that Dr Malaza is a suitable candidate who understands the challenges facing our University and has capabilities to provide academic, strategic, ethical and transformative leadership to MUT. We believe that his extensive knowledge of higher education and academic business, including knowledge of support functions will benefit MUT immensely. This also stands Dr Malaza in good stead as he leads the University”.
“It would be remiss of Council not to express our profound gratitude to the outgoing acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof Marcus Ramogale and his executive team. His dedication and that of the team ensured that MUT continued to operate despite a myriad of challenges”, said Mr Morailane.
