Special Mentions

Umuzi recruits and staff who deserve a special mentions. Well done to the Cohort 19s stealing the show…

Was part of a team of creatives that was called up to collaborate with an agency, Machine_, on live work that formed part of a competitive pitch for client work. The agency was blown away by their design thinking, agile work method and dedicated work ethic. The team really shined like stars and showed off the calibre of thinkers we produce at Umuzi. Thank you to Patamedi Lebea, the manager who supported the team.
