Tshwane University of Technology has organised an event called UMQHELE ANNUAL EVENT, also known as INGOBOCO that takes place every Friday, accommodating all cultures that are interested in participating.

In the INGOBOCO EVENT people actually sing and dance in their cultural songs and everyone joins so that no one can feel left out. There is actually a Zulu Dance, known as ukugida and the Nazareth dance, also a dance called ukubhaca which is similar to ukusina and the singing that is known as ukuvumisa in isiZulu.

 People embrace their cultures at Ingoboco, some get nervous that none of the people will be able to sing their songs like the Zulu songs. In Ingoboco people celebrate their roots and where they come from and how they were raised some call it ZULU HLANGANA, because it is an event actually that was started by two Zulu students at Tshwane University of Technology who are Zungu Bonga and Sakhile Mpanza.

                                             


 “This is actually a great event that also shows people that Zulu culture is not a bad thing, compared to what other tribes say. I would like to watch the Zulu dance and ukugida that they do when singing,” said Lesedi Sekhwele, a first-year student at TUT.

 People enjoy watching and participating in the cultural event as the place was filled up with students from different TUT campuses, namely Soshanguve North and South, also the GA-Rankuwa and Arcadia campus.

 This cultural event has spread in some S.A universities like; University of KwaZulu- Natal, University of Johannesburg, University of Witwatersrand Nelson Mandela University and also University of Zululand popularly known as Ungoye.

                                                             


Sakhile Mpanza who is also one of the members that started this cultural event, said that he wants to gather the Zulu nation together and for them not to forget their culture and for them to embrace where they come from.

“It also teaches other tribes on how the Zulu nation does things,” he added. Zulu students embrace their diverse culture, by meeting up and singing their traditional songs and dancing to forget about challenges faced by students on a daily basis.

Is it worth it to study for a qualification that at the end you find no jobs of? These days we only receive emails that make us ask ourselves whether was it worth it to study all these years only to settle for unemployment, being a stay-at-home graduate?
