The Vanderbijlpark campus library celebrated the promotions of two exceptional staff members, Ms. Xolile Vilakazi and Ms. Nthabiseng Maseko, on February 25 and 26, 2025. As of 3rd March 2025, Ms Vilakazi assumed the position of   Assistant Librarian at the Potchefstroom campus (Information Commons), while Ms Maseko assumed the role of Faculty Support Librarian (Education and Humanities).

"Ms Vilakazi's and Ms Maseko's promotions reflect their outstanding contributions to the LIS. Their dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence have had a long-term impact on the team, and we are honoured to celebrate their achievements," says Maropene Ramabina, Manager: Information Services at the Vanderbijlpark campus.

''Their professional experiences serve as an example of the power of dedication, commitment, and continuous growth, motivating younger professionals within the department. We eagerly anticipate their growth as they take the LIS to new heights," says Dr. Sabelo Chizwina, Director of Information and Learning Services.

The LIS team also bid farewell to Mr. Given Mudau, who has been an HSRC intern in the department since August 2024. His contributions during his time with the team were invaluable, and we wish him success in his future endeavors as he builds on the experience he gained during his internship.

We wish them a fruitful journey in their new roles, with rewarding challenges and significant milestones in their career's milestones ahead
