Episode 12: Student Accommodation in South Africa | Safety, Standards and Student Success

Student accommodation is more than a place to sleep. It affects students’ safety, wellbeing, ability to learn and prospects of completing their qualifications. Recorded at the National Student Accommodation Summit at UKZN’s Edgewood Campus, this episode of the Get Involved and Level Up Podcast features Services SETA Administrator Lehlogonolo Masoga and South African Union of Students President Moses Nkambako. Services SETA participated in the summit to contribute to discussions on student support and the role that safe, well-managed accommodation plays in student retention and academic success. The conversation explores accommodation shortages, facilities management, safety, access to data, mental-health support and the need for dignified living environments that enable students to succeed.
