Mrs Nondumiso Yolande Hadebe was born in Eshowe. She started elementary education at KwaZibonele Primary School and proceeded to Bonamuva Higher Primary School. She did her high school education at Impumelelo High in Mahlabathini. On completing her high school education, she enrolled for the Bachelor of Social Work degree at UNIZULU in 2011 in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Immediately after obtaining her undergraduate degree, Hadebe was inspired to study further in chosen discipline and registered for a master’s degree which was conferred on her in 2019. She is currently registered for a PhD degree in social work at her alma mater.

Hadebe was recently permanently employed as a lecturer in the Department of Social Work. This is yet another example of the University growing its own timber. As a lecturer in a discipline that she loves and is passionate about, she feels the knowledge and experience she has acquired in the field will stand her in good stead when she imparts knowledge to her students.

The University of Zululand Alumni Office extends a warm welcome to Mrs Nondumiso Hadebe and trust that her stay in UNIZULU will be pleasant and beneficial to our students.
