Connections that inspire global learning 🌍

Recently, our Manager: Strategic Initiatives & Projects,Ms Andiswa Mrasi, had the pleasure of catching up with one of our international exchange students, Kai Borsum, from Hochschule Hannover, 🇩🇪

What stood out most was Kai’s reason for choosing Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) — the opportunity to meet and learn from his academic hero, Pieter Steenkamp, PhD from our CPUT Department of Marketing, a respected leader in Marketing & Brand Management.

Moments like these remind us of the global impact of academic excellence and the power of inspiring educators. As a faculty, we remain proud to be recognised among leading business and management science schools, shaping minds and building connections across borders.

Education becomes most meaningful when learning extends beyond the classroom.

Students from the Department of Accounting Sciences at Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) had the honour of attending the 2026 STATS SA Budget Vote 14 Debate at the Parliament of the Republic of South Africa as guests of Deputy Minister in The Presidency, Hon. Nonceba Mhlauli.

The experience exposed students to important national discussions on cybersecurity, data science, statistics, taxation, governance, and evidence-based decision-making shaping South Africa’s future.

It was inspiring to witness meaningful engagements between students, Hon. Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, Hon. Nonceba Mhlauli, Hon. Kenneth Morolong, and the Statistician-General on the vital role young people play in driving innovation through data.

Congratulations to the students who proudly represented the department and faculty, and sincere appreciation to the staff members who continue creating impactful real-world learning opportunities.

Together, we are shaping a future informed by data. 📊
