What Our People Say

Ntokozo Cele

Alumni Administrator

"As both an alum of the institution and a member of the Emeris team, working in the Alumni Office is incredibly meaningful to me. I have experienced first-hand how our institutions shape students’ journeys, and it is a privilege to now play a role in keeping our alumni connected to the community that helped them grow. Through alumni initiatives, events, and partnerships, we create opportunities for graduates to reconnect with their campuses, share their stories, and support the next generation of students. Seeing our alumni thrive in their careers while remaining proud ambassadors of Emeris is always inspiring. For me, the most rewarding part of this role is knowing that the relationships built during the student experience don’t end at graduation; they continue to grow into a lifelong network of support, collaboration, and pride."

Zamathole Magubane

Senior Planning & Scheduling Co-ordinator

"My journey with the ADvTECH Group has been one of growth and opportunity. I started on a fixed-term contract, eager to learn and contribute. Soon after, I became an Admissions Officer, gaining hands-on experience supporting students and understanding higher education operations.
A pivotal moment came when I was asked to assist with capacity planning and scheduling, an opportunity that opened a new space to grow and challenge myself. What started as support became my full-time focus, and today, three years later, I serve as a Senior Capacity Planning & Scheduling Coordinator. at Emeris. Looking back, I’m proud of the path, from a fixed-term role to helping shape how our academic operations run a journey built on hard work, initiative, opportunity, and stepping into new challenges."

Boitumelo Shezi

Senior Student Relations Specialist

"My journey at Emeris has been both rewarding and transformative. I have had the honour of assisting more than 2 000 students. Making information powerful and enjoyable is one of my most rewarding responsibilities. By creating gamified events and orientation campaigns, I've witnessed personally how creative support can improve the student experience. This setting has been a huge motivator for my personal development. Aside from taking on leadership roles and mentoring my colleagues, the organization's support for continual development has been outstanding. It has given me the opportunity to improve my strategic thinking while pursuing my Postgraduate Diploma in Management. What sticks out the most is our collaborative culture and our ability to strike a healthy work-life balance while pursuing high-impact goals. Being a part of a team that prioritizes service excellence motivates me every day and contributes to my overall satisfaction in this position."
