UKZN staff members and students belonging to the Twelve Apostles Church in Christ Student Organisation (TTACCSO) visited schools in the Mtubatuba area in KwaZulu-Natal to help uplift education in rural communities.
Schools visited included Nkodibe High, Sqiwini High, Nomathiya Technical, Mgwazeni High, and Syelulama Tech High.
Established in 2007 with the aim of promoting the teachings and doctrines of Christianity and spreading the gospel to students in tertiary institutions, TTACCSO is a recognised religious student organisation at UKZN.
The organisation aims to contribute to the development of youth inside and outside the church. About 800 Grade 11 and 12 pupils from the schools received brochures and information about applications and how to enrol at UKZN. There was also motivational session designed to inspire the youngsters.
Chairperson of TTACCSO on the Westville campus Mr Lindelani Mantengu thanked the Corporate Relations Division on the Westville campus for its assistance in making the visit possible.
The visit to Mtubatuba has inspired TTACCSO members to do more with plans being made to do further visits to the schools next year.
