Participants at the BELS Swimming Gala. Fun Times at Gala
Academic Leader in the Discipline of Biokinetics, Exercise and Leisure Sciences (BELS), Dr Rowena Naidoo, and lecturer, Mr Joe Xaba, were victorious in the fun three-legged race held during the Discipline’s swimming gala on the Westville campus.
The gala and side events were held to raise funds for students within the Discipline who need financial assistance as well as to promote social cohesion among the staff and the students.
Organiser, lecturer Miss Khumbuzile Khumalo, said the event was a huge success, ‘Both students and lecturers were at the fun-filled day. More than 40 students took part, and seemed to enjoy the land-based events the most.’
Said Naidoo: ‘Ms Khumalo has always been actively involved with fund raising activities for our students. We are proud of her and will continue to support her initiatives.
‘BELS plans to host similar events in the future but in collaboration with other disciplines.’
