Welcome to the Office of the Director at the Directorate for Student Recruitment Services. I am Nomonde Mbadi, leading this dynamic directorate. I have a B Com from UNITRA (now WSU), a B Com (Hons) from UNISA, and an MBA from UKZN. My academic foundation is strengthened by advanced training in the Executive Development Program from the University of the Free State, alongside comprehensive studies in Marketing, Digital Marketing, Academic Advising, and Executive Leadership.

My leadership is centered on syncing our strategy with the university's forward-thinking Vision 130. I ensure that each department under my direction—including Undergraduate and Postgraduate Student Recruitment, Integrated Marketing and Innovation, Special Events and Projects, Kovies2B_Connect Centre, and Research and Data Management—works in unison to exceed our shared aspirations.

For me, the key motivation is to cultivate not just the intellect but also the hearts of our future students, acknowledging their individuality. However, my dedication and commitment continues; I am keenly aware that the core of any successful organisation is its people. The well-being of my staff is crucial, and I work unceasingly to ensure they thrive, fostering an environment of dedication, commitment, and contentment in their roles.

At SRS, our mission transcends the conventional boundaries of employment.  It is a passion, a calling that resonates with each team member. I lead a group of individuals who are not merely task-oriented but approach every challenge with zest and pleasure. We are not just present in our roles; we are invigorated to contribute, grow, and make a meaningful impact every day. This is not merely a workplace; it is a breeding ground for talent and a place where futures are shaped, guided by a leader who directs and inspires.

My Motto: “Driven by service excellence and customer-centricity, with my staff well-being as the cornerstone of my ethos and business conduct."
