This win was a result of my contribution to the department as an HoD, in addition to the work that the department was able to do during this period. Taken into account are also the managerial roles that I have participated in over the years before being HoD,\u201d said Ndlangamandla. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The eSwatini-born added that other initiatives that contributed to his success include community projects that he has participated in, such as the Masifundisane Career &amp; Development Campaign, JSE Investment Challenge, the School Governing Body project by SAICA and the Learn Accounting project by the University of Cape Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_ae3a5c09\">\n<div class=\"text\">Looking at everyone\u2019s profile, I didn\u2019t see myself standing any chance of emerging as the overall winner. I guess the judges knew what they were looking for from each candidate, and I am truly humbled to have met their requirements for the overall winning prize. This is significant, not only for me, but for Brand WSU as well.<\/div>\n<div class=\"citation\">Ndlangamandla<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>He recently played a lead role in organising an academic excellence awards ceremony to recognise students who excelled academically. The event, which will be hosted annually going forward, is meant to motivate students and create a culture of excellence among students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI lead a team of amazing talent. This is not to say there have not been challenges. I believe there are many ways to lead, but among them are these three \u2013 lead from the front, lead from behind, and lead with the people. I took the approach of leading with the people and being inclusive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis approach has created a space for every member of the team to participate meaningfully in strategy development and implementation, and for everyone to really be empowered,\u201d added Ndlangamandla. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also led the development of the department\u2019s 2030 strategic plan, outlining several special projects such as meeting HoDs from several universities to initiate discussions for potential collaboration and mentorship, specifically for their Postgraduate Diploma in Accountancy project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is rare for an academic to get this accolade and that is just evidence of the quality of academics we have. The work that has been put into the academic projects at WSU is starting to bear fruits. The recognition by SAICA will also improve the efforts of our department to further improve our SAICA rating, something I take personally as a Chartered Accountant myself,\u201d said WSU Chancellor Nonkululeko Gobodo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gobodo added that she was in attendance when Ndlangamandla received the award and felt pride and joy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ndlangamandla has also initiated the WSU Accountancy Alumni Association, which has already been approved at an institutional level and aimed to launch in March 2024, and forming strategic partnerships with the Mthatha local business community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SAICA Top 35-under-35 is an annual recognition programme that aims at identifying and celebrating young Chartered Accountants who have significantly contributed to the accounting profession and society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-issued-by-walter-sisulu-university\">ISSUED BY WALTER SISULU
