SMU Social solidarity
The current trajectory of the pandemic indicates that the second wave is more substantial than the first. It is therefore necessary to exercise the utmost caution and care. The primary consideration of saving lives while completing the academic year must remain foremost in institutional planning.
It is important that sufficient care is taken to build a social compact amongst all members of university community relating to the responsibilities of each person in ensuring that there are no further outbreaks of COVID-19.

Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University does not offer free paramedic training
Media Statement
03 January 2021
For Immediate Release
The Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University hereby warns members of the public about a scam doing the rounds on a certain Facebook platform purported to be that of the University.
The message contained in the scam says that the University is offering free paramedic training with a stipend of R5900. This is completely untrue and meant to dupe unsuspecting people.
Members of the public are advised to be careful of such misinformation and not to respond to the scam.
The university advertises opportunities through its official platforms such as the website, genuine social media accounts and at times through mainstream newspapers.
