The Makhuza Mentorship Programme pairs senior students with first-years (FTENs) to support their transition into university life. Through ongoing sessions and weekend talk shows, students gain academic guidance, personal growth opportunities, and access to campus resources. The programme builds supportive relationships, promotes open dialogue, and nurtures leadership and respect, enriching WSU’s inclusive and evolving culture.

Mentor-Mentee Sessions occur regularly, offering one-on-one guidance tailored to each student’s individual needs. During these meetings, mentors provide personalized support, answer questions, and offer valuable advice on navigating university life. By fostering trust, understanding, and open communication, these sessions help first-year (FTEN) students gain confidence, overcome challenges, and thrive academically and socially.

Makhuza Talk Shows are hosted twice a month in student living and learning communities, where mentors lead discussions on key aspects of student life. These sessions provide guidance, encourage open conversations, and create a supportive space that helps first-year students adjust while building a stronger sense of community.

Major Talk Shows are held on weekends, addressing important social issues and various aspects of student life. Open to the entire student community, these sessions aim to spark meaningful conversations, promote critical thinking, and foster a sense of understanding and inclusivity. By encouraging dialogue and empathy, Major Talk Shows support a more engaged, informed, and socially responsible student body.
