Graduation ceremonies are the highlight of our academic year because they are an opportunity to celebrate your years of hard work. You have made a success of your time at CPUT and now you are an inspiration to others who may consider a university education because they saw you succeed.
Your CPUT family is very proud of you. For many, the road to this point has been challenging, and it will have taken immense grit to not only finish your course, but excel. You represent the cream of the crop, and especially as we approach the national elections, I remind you that South Africa’s fate hinges on you realising your full potential. Dream big and do something worthwhile with your precious qualification. Your community and South Africa needs you now more than ever.
CPUT has over 100,000 alumni, dating back to the historic institutions, and you will now form part of that esteemed network. The Institution
BOODSKAP VAN DIE VISEKANSELIER
Beste Graduandi
Gradeplegtighede is die hoogtepunt van ons akademiese jaar omdat dit jou die geleentheid bied om jare se harde werk te vier. Jy het sukses op universiteit behaal, en is nou ’n inspirasie vir ander wie hoër onderwys opleiding oorweeg bloot omdat hulle jou sukses gesien het.
Jou CPUT-familie is baie trots op jou! Die pad tot op hierdie punt was waarskynlik vir jou uitdagend en het ongelooflike vasberadenheid geverg om nie net jou kursus af te handel nie, maar om ook uit te blink. Jy verteenwoordig
daarom die room van ons Instelling, en veral met die naderende nasionale verkiesings, herinner ek jou daaraan dat Suid-Afrika se lot afhang van jou gewilligheid om jou volle potensiaal te verwesenlik. Droom groot en doen iets waardevols met jou kosbare kwalifikasie. Jou gemeenskap en SuidAfrika het jou nou nodig, meer as ooit van te vore.
CPUT het meer as 100,000 oudstudente, en vandag word jy deel van hierdie gesogte netwerk. Die Instelling benodig jou volgehoue bydrae, of dit nou deur ’n formele struktuur soos die Konvokasie is,
needs your continued contribution, whether it be through a formal structure like Convocation, or simply staying connected to the Institution. This will ensure that we remain a university of repute that you are proud to be associated with.
Finally, I would like to thank the university staff, your parents, guardians, family members, spouses, friends, donors, and all stakeholders who have contributed to your success. This has truly been a collaborative effort, and their contribution is celebrated as well.
Vice-Chancellor
Prof Chris Nhlapo
of eenvoudig deur kontak te behou met ons. Dit sal verseker dat CPUT ’n universiteit van aansien bly; ’n universiteit waarop jy kan trots wees.
Laastens wil ek die universiteitspersoneel, jou ouers, voogde, familielede, eggenote, vriende, skenkers en alle belanghebbendes wie bygedra het tot jou sukses bedank. Dit was werklik ’n gesamentlike poging, so vandag word hul bydrae ook gevier.

TITLE: A FRAMEWORK FOR ENHANCING INTERNAL-AUDIT-INDEPENDENCE AND OBJECTIVITY WITHIN PROVINCIAL GOVERNANCE SYSTEMS
Awonke’s thesis examines internal-audit-independence and objectivity within provincial governments. The study advances our understanding of the complexities of public-sector-accountability, independence and objectivity for assurance-providers; highlighting the importance of ensuring effective risk control, operational efficiencies, and assurance-provision for provincial governments. The research identifies fundamentals for accountability, independence, and objectivity to prevent financial mismanagement, and avert inefficiencies within the Public Sector. The study has projected recommendations that inform policy and practice, helping provincial governments in South Africa achieve their objectives and uphold good governance. The study is a timely contribution to a growing area of internal-audit-effectiveness that illuminates audit-independence and objectivity as central to alleviating inefficiencies in public-sector-accountability. To this end, a framework for enhancing internal auditing and improving effectiveness of ‘compliance units’ is proposed. Awonke’s manuscript was presented at BRCR in Durban, and won the Emerging Scholars Best Paper award at the 10th AAFC, Cape Town. His journal articles have been accepted for publication in accredited International Journals.

TITLE: SELECTED OPERATING PROCESS VARIABLES FOR A BIOFLOCCULANT SUPPORTED COLUMN FLOTATION SYSTEM
There is a need for improved pretreatment technologies due to increased potable water consumption within the poultry industry; hence, the study focused on operating parameters that affect the performance of a Biological Column Flotation system. The study laid a foundation for exploring 3D-printed air diffusers, a relatively new technology, in conjunction with bioflocculants usage that are regarded as eco-friendly, for application in wastewater pretreatment to enhance the performance of column flotation systems. Three articles have been published, and one is currently under review from the study. Melody Mukandi received the Mwalimu Nyerere African Union Scholarship Grant, and the CPUT Vice-Chancellor’s Prestigious Achiever’s Award.

TITLE: THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER
IN AN INNOVATIVE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Knowledge transfer using social media in an innovative business environment is trending and improving knowledge creation, elicitation, and organisational sustainability. This research aimed to explore the use of social media in knowledge transfer in an innovative business environment. Fraderick used a mixed methods approach, including expert interviews from many countries across the globe, Delphi techniques, and a systematic literature analysis. The findings indicated that social media plays an important role in knowledge transfer within companies, despite cultural resistance and resource constraints. His study showed that social media facilitates knowledge transfer, but the management thereof is fast becoming very complex and needs attention on a strategic level within organisations. The research has produced three international peer-reviewed articles.

TITLE: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-ENABLED DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR SOUTH AFRICAN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
Vusi aimed to develop a prototype artificial intelligence-enabled decision support system tailored for South African higher education institutions, recognising the growing significance of such systems in the dynamic landscape of universities. By leveraging the Design Science Research methodology, this study integrated Architectural Design Theory and Decision Theory in developing the artefact. Ontological pragmatism and intersubjective epistemology were employed to address an existing real-world problem. This prototype incorporated business automation, preventive asset maintenance, and predictive analytics functionalities to comprehensively address the identified issues. The study established that the artefact would enhance the skills and expertise of ICT personnel; it also provides information that helps users to make decisions effectively. With these findings, the researcher acknowledges that the artefact contributed to the broader field of AI in higher education, offering practical insights that could guide future research, and inform policy-making in the context of information systems within academic institutions.

TITLE: THE PATTERNS OF TECHNOLOGY-MEDIATED INTERACTION BETWEEN TEACHERS AND LEARNERS IN A TIME OF CRISIS
Ian explored the patterns of technology-mediated interaction between teachers and learners during the COVID-19 pandemic. The theoretical foundation of this qualitative study is rooted in the Constructivist Technological Instructional Strategies (ConTIS) matrix, incorporating the TPACK and SAMR constructs, supplemented by actor-network theory (ANT). Data was collected through an online survey. The findings unveiled ICT appropriation in educational settings as a complex and iterative process. The study contributes to the academic discourse by underscoring that ICT appropriation is a multifaceted non-linear process that demands a holistic and context-specific approach. To this end, the researcher introduced the ContextAware ICT Appropriation (CAIA) model.

TITLE: GAMEFUL DESIGN FOR SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AMONG URBAN YOUTHS IN SOUTH AFRICA
Leuna’s study addresses the skills gap among marginalised South African youths for employment in the digital economy. Focusing on gameful design as a tool for engagement, the research draws on constructivism and design anthropology. Through workshops in Mfuleni, Western Cape, the study identifies 31 complexities facing youths, and reveals 23 system-based and three non-system-based gameful design elements. Leuna proposes a conceptual framework for a gamified system, demonstrating how to incorporate these elements to address the challenges in youth skills acquisition. The findings offer valuable insights for gameful designers, development centres and policymakers, focusing on urban youth development in marginalised settings.
