Message from the VC

Prof. Kenneth Matengu

VICE-CHANCELLOR

Dear Graduands,

Today, you close one chapter and open another, and what a chapter it has been. The qualification you hold is not merely a certificate; it is a testament to the late nights, the difficult choices, and the quiet determination that carried you to this moment. On behalf of the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø, I extend my sincerest congratulations.

The world you are entering is dynamic, demanding, and full of possibility. Whether you choose the path of employment, enterprise, or public service, you go equipped, not only with knowledge and skills, but with the resilience forged through years of rigorous study. Do not underestimate what you have built in yourself.

ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍøhas shaped leaders, thinkers, and change-makers who have gone on to transform their communities and their nation. You now join that legacy. Carry it with intention. Pursue excellence not as a destination, but as a standard. Be curious, be courageous, and be willing to contribute beyond the boundaries of your own ambition.

As you move forward, remember that your alma mater walks with you. The values instilled here, of integrity, innovation and service, are yours to carry into every boardroom, classroom, clinic, and community you touch. Represent them well, and inspire those who will follow in your footsteps.

Take a moment to honour this achievement - and then go. The future is not waiting; it is being built, right now, by graduates exactly like you.

Congratulations, Class of 2026. This moment is the beginning.
