Africa Day Celebrations 2022

Africa Day Committee: Clive Oliver, Laa-iqa Rylands, Roxanne Mohunlal, Dalielah Jappie

The Department of Chemistry celebrated Africa Month with a braai on Friday 27^th May. A traditional boerewors roll and assortment of delicious South African desserts, expertly home-made by staff, was served.

The P8 parking lot was temporarily transformed into an outside eatery where all could enjoy the event while adhering to the necessary H&S protocols. With winter still holding back, over 50 staff and students could sit and enjoy the occasion in the sun. It was lovely for people to relax and socialise and enjoy a good South African meal with their peers and colleagues. A welcome change from the last two years during which the event couldn't be celebrated in person.

A beautiful sunny day for socialising

The delicious selection of much-loved local desserts was accompanied with interesting snippets of their history displayed on a poster board for all to read.
