WE’RE BRINGING THE TROPHIES HOME!

What a phenomenal achievement for our Madibaz dancers.

Nelson Mandela University has once again taken home the Overall Trophy at the Student National Ballroom & Latin American Dance Competition!

Held on Sunday, 9 August, at the Sea Point Civic Centre in Cape Town and hosted by UCT, our dancers went head-to-head with talented teams from UCT and Stellenbosch University — and they danced their way to victory.

Despite the challenges, long journeys and being the smallest university in the competition, our Madibaz showed incredible determination, talent and team spirit.

And there’s more! We're also bringing home the Spirit Trophy for “gees”, proving that size means nothing when you have heart, passion and Madibaz spirit.

Our dancers are now making their way home — trophies in hand and another national victory to celebrate!

Congratulations to our incredible dancers and everyone who supported them. You have made Nelson Mandela University proud.

Madibaz, we rise. We dance. We conquer.

WORKSHOPS - SEED - Employability Coaching - Brands - Personal vs Business

Branding plays a big role in the growth of either a personal or business brand, or both. What’s important is knowing the difference between the two, keeping them separate when required, and have them overlap where applicable. This workshop is designed to unpack the nature of brands, and how to develop a brand that will work for you.

SEED invites students and staff to join this workshop on 11 August 2026 at the North Campus Conference Centre at Nelson Mandela University.

Location: NORTH CAMPUS - Conference Centre

Date: 11/08/2026
