    @Siphokazi, I honestly dont think that they are doing a good job in letting people know about this event as you state that it is your first time coming across such an event, the thing is as students they rely on word of mouth, which is not enough but if you could look it up there is a web page that informs you about it. If they could just use other means of informing people about it,it will make a huge difference. Like the platform I'm using now in letting you know about it is something, now you can go out there and tell your friends about it and how amazing you find this event to be.

    As a Public relations student I feel that " gaining a a cultural edge through art, drama, theatre, music, poetry, academic and creative writing" is very important for student life, it is important to have social activities as well as academic activities that take place,Im glad im hearning about the Wale and the programme it features its great to know that WIts is still marketing itself as an interactive University
