Mr Bobo Dube has been confirmed as the new president of the Monash South Africa Students' Association following elections last month.

More than 60 per cent of Monash South Africa students voted in the elections. In some cases there were as few as four votes separating the winner from other candidates.

The elections were supervised by the Community Services office.

Pro vice-chancellor Professor Tyrone Pretorius congratulated the new representatives on their achievements and wished them a successful year ahead.

He also thanked the outgoing members for their constructive contribution to Monash South Africa over the past year.

Candidates for 10 of the 11 Student Association portfolios have now been elected. The current Academic Development Programme (ADP) representative, Mmoloki Mogotsi, remains in office until a new representative is elected in the first semester of 2006.

The results for the executive members are:

  • President -- Mr Bobo Dube
  • Vice-president -- Ms Heather Bangwayo
  • Secretary -- Ms Georgina Stavriou
  • Treasurer -- Mr Sammy Njuguna.
