The Pan African Student Movement of Azania (PASMA) gave a helping hand to the residence cleaners known as Mamazala’s of the Tshwane University of Technology Soshanguve North Campus. This took place on September 23. “We just got here and they told us to relax, we were all surprised by them. It was our first time seeing such.” said Mamazala Dipuo Mphahlele. PASMA as part of their women empowerment campaign have run with this initiative as a follow up to continue helping women at the university.

“As a structure we saw a need to help our parents and that they should take a break. This is not us trying to win votes but trying to empower women as part of our social upliftment. ” Said Khoisan Sonti PASMA member. They started cleaning from the corridors to the kitchens of the North Campus residences. “We acknowledge what PASMA is doing for our Mamazala’s and we thank them. This shows that they do care, not only for us as students but all people here on campus.” Said Sibongile Mahlaola, student resident. PASMA promised that the cleaning will continue to the south campus of the university in the following week.
