In remembrance: Kusasalethu Mlambo

04 July 2025

Dear colleagues and students

It is with grieving hearts that we inform you of the passing of our student, Mr Kusasalethu Mlambo (32), on Wednesday, 18 June 2025 due to natural causes. He was pursuing a Master of Science (MSc) in audiology.

He has been described by his peers as a charismatic and intellectually curious person. He will be remembered for his infectious laughter and uplifting presence.

Mr Mlambo is survived by his child, Nizibone; and brother, Siphumeze.

He was laid to rest on Saturday, 27 June 2025 in Sulenkama in Qumbu, Eastern Cape.

The university has reached out to offer support to the Mlambo family; and our sincere condolences go out to them and all who knew and loved him during this time of bereavement.

Sincerely

The UCT Executive
