Observed in over eighty nations worldwide, May Day, now commonly referred to as Workers’ Day, prompts communities to pause and contemplate the integral role of workers, regardless of their occupation, in the advancement of their nation’s economy. Beyond this, such reflection underscores the criticality of maintaining healthy working conditions as a catalyst for productivity.
It is widely accepted that workers spend more than 70 percent of their time in their workplaces. Consequently, it’s imperative that these environments are not only safe but also conducive to fostering creativity and efficiency.
As a burgeoning institution, Sol Plaatje University is unwavering in its commitment to creating and safeguarding such a conducive working atmosphere for all our employees.
In our journey as an academic family, we recognise that there is much work yet to be done. This Workers’ Day, let us not only celebrate the contributions of our current workforce but also focus on our collective responsibility to ensure the continued growth and success of our university.
Wishing you all a reflective and inspiring Workers’ Day.
Mr David Kanguwe
Chief Operating Officer
