Welcome to the MAN720 blog!

The University of the Western Cape is located in the suburb of Bellville, Cape Town. Established in 1960, the university is alert to its African and international context as it strives to be a place of quality, a place to grow and a place to learn. It is committed to excellence in teaching, learning and research, to nurturing the cultural diversity of South African, and to responding in critical and creative ways to the needs of a society in transition.







This blog, the brainchild of five UWC Honours students who have been assigned a task to project manage a community based project of their choice. This assignment forms part of continuous evaluation in the Project Management [MAN720] module conducted by Percy Saungweme at the School of Business and Finance in the EMS Faculty. The demographic of the group is made up of five part-time students, two of which are living in UWC residence which currently houses approximately 3800 students. Thus the group decided to engage in a project that places it’s focus on the UWC student community.

Dare To Dream - Maya Angelou

I just thought I'd spread a little message of inspiration from one of the great American poets for all to enjoy...

Maya Angelou







“Once you find your shoulders dropping
And your speech gets slow and hazy
You better change your way of being
Before you found your brain got lazy
You can build a better future when you join the winning team
If you desire a bright tomorrow, you must build a brighter dream
Dare to let your dreams reach beyond you
Know that history holds more than it seems
We are here alive today because our ancestors dared to dream
From Africa they lay in the bilge of slave ships
And stood naked on auction blocks
From eastern-Europe they crowded in vessels overloaded with immigrants
And were mis-named on Ellis Island
From South America and Mexico, from Asia, they laboured in sweat shops
From all over the world, they came to America
Many shivering in rags, and still they dared to dream
Let us dream for today and for tomorrow
Let us dare to dream”
                                                                                                                                ~ Maya Angelou

LET US NEVER FORGET TO DREAM, BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T HAVE A DREAM YOU HAVE NOTHING
