MBABANE - Graduating is not a small achievement or minor milestone. It is a big day.

After four years of hard work and sleepless nights, surely it calls for a celebration. Yesterday, Botho University (BU) Eswatini’s first cohort of 2023 graduated. The momentous occasion, held at The George Hotel in Manzini, was filled with pride and achievement for the institution as well as the graduands as the ceremony was testament to the struggle they went through, having gone through COVID-19 and still making it. It was a celebration of academic excellence and the culmination of years of hard work and dedication by the graduads.

A total of 16 students were coffered with various degrees, but only 12 were present to receive their degrees. Highlights of the event were the presence of the  Minister of Labour and Social Security, Phila Buthelezi, and Chief Gija, who attended the occasion as special guests. Among other esteemed guests were Botho University’s Vice-Chancellor Dr Sheela Raja Ram and the Pro-Vice Chancellor Golekanye Setume, as well as representatives from the Ministry of Education and Training. Sharing his welcoming remarks, the Assistant Dean and Head of the Campus at BU Eswatini and soon-to-be Doctor, Viswanathan Sankaranayanan, shared that it had been a long, perhaps exhausting and not always fun, but rewarding journey and further congratulated the class of 2023.

Urged

Addressing the graduating students, Dr Sheela Raja Ram urged them to be confident and actively seek new opportunities both locally and globally, she said the fact that they had graduated from BU put them in a good position to seize opportunities, as the university strived to produce industry-ready graduates. Concluding, Dr Raja Ram urged them to be adaptable to remain relevant and to keep acquiring new skills.

Delivered

The minister delivered a stirring keynote address, highlighting the importance of education in shaping the workforce of tomorrow and emphasising the role of BU in providing quality education and training to empower young minds in Eswatini. Buthelezi commended them for their hard work, resilience, and determination in reaching this significant milestone. He encouraged them to continue striving for excellence, to embrace new challenges with confidence, and to make a positive impact in their respective fields and communities.
