The award was handed over at a PMR business breakfast in Vanderbijlpark and the event saw top decision makers, businessmen, members of government, professionals and educators of the Sedibeng region gather for recognition. The keynote speaker was Cllr BM Baloyi, executive mayor of the Midvaal Local Municipality.
The campus regularly features in the PMR survey and has taken home an award on several occasions. The Sedibeng region includes the municipalities of Emfuleni, Lesedi and Midvaal. This region has been identified as a growth point and potential investment area for international and local developers and investors.
