At CERI, that person is Zethu Luthuli. With more than 15 years of experience in research operations, Zethu plays a vital role in the day-to-day functioning of the Centre. Her expertise, dedication, and attention to detail help create the strong operational foundation that enables researchers and students to thrive.

Another significant milestone in her professional journey was graduating with an Advanced Diploma in Business Analysis from MANCOSA, while also completing her Postgraduate Diploma in Business Management. Her achievement reflects a continued commitment to growth, learning, and excellence – qualities that have long been evident in her work at CERI.

Congratulations, Zethu. We are proud of you and grateful for all that you do.
