With over two decades of experience in HR, Mhango says she was drawn to UCT’s deep commitment to social justice and its impact on shaping future generations.

She highlights the importance of open communication, staff input, and creating platforms for engagement to ensure that institutional strategies truly reflect the needs and aspirations of the people who make UCT thrive.
