The EmaXesibeni born and Chairperson of the Public Service Commission (PSC), Professor Somadoda Fikeni urged the newly inaugurated Vice-Chancellor and Principal at the Walter Sisulu University, Dr Thandi Mgwebi to be strong and endure whatever challenge she’s facing with during her tenure in this institution. Prof stressed that she must expect a lot who will challenge her integrity and tolerance.
“You will meet students who, because of the pain they carry, will knock on your door with impatience. Some will insult you; some will criticize you, but love the irrespective. Come to this great university and help humanize it, help heal it, and help unite it in order to unleash its full potential,” said Prof Fikeni.
He stated that even in the time of crisis; Dr Thandi Mgwebi must behave like those old refrigerators that have a flame at the back but produce incentives in the front and regulate the temperature. “This is your last step. You must decide whether you want to leave a legacy or merely leave a position,” he concluded.
