The Central University of Technology congratulates Dr Xolani Khohliso on his recent appointment by the Minister of Sport, Arts, and Culture as a Board Member of the Pan South African Language Board (PanSALB) for a period of five years.

Dr Khohliso, Director: Curriculum and Academic Staff Development and Head of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning is also the institutional coordinator for the Language Policy Development Project, a three-year initiative commissioned by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET).

His appointment demonstrates his dedication and leadership in the field of language development and education as well as his research interests and advocacy for integrating African languages into academic research, teaching, and learning. It also highlights CUT’s commitment to the promotion and development of African languages, a cornerstone of the university’s mission to foster inclusivity and cultural diversity in higher education.

“Dr Khohliso’s appointment to the PanSALB Board is a significant milestone for CUT as an institution that takes the development of African languages seriously. It highlights the university’s interests in language policy development and its contribution to national efforts to preserve and promote South Africa’s linguistic heritage. We celebrate this remarkable achievement and look forward to the positive impact Dr Khohliso will bring in his new role. His appointment is a source of pride and inspiration, reflecting the university’s commitment to excellence and its contribution to nation-building through education and language development,” said Prof. Ntsoaki Malebo, Senior Director: Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching (CILT).
