RE: Reference Letter for Nosimo Ndamane
I have known Nosimo since the start of 2014, and have interacted with her regularly as her Warden in
Victoria Mxenge House, Lilian Ngoyi Hall at Rhodes University.
Nosimo is hard‐working, focussed on her tasks and determined to do the best she can. Her work ethic
is beyond reproach. She is approachable and fun; and enjoys good healthy relationships with members
of the residence. Nosimo is also honest and forthright, she speaks her truth clearly and without
confrontation, but with confidence. She is vocal when she feels it is necessary for her to contribute.
And when Nosimo participates in discussions, her comments are thoughtful. Considered. And always
valuable.
I understand that Nosimo is applying to be a tutor. I do not doubt that she would excel in this position.
She is a natural mentor, hardworking and conscientious. Her students would benefit from her input.
Rhodes University strives to turn out well‐rounded graduates. Without any reservation, I can say that
Nosimo Ndamane is going to be a good example of a Rhodes graduate. She has been a pleasure to
have in Victoria Mxenge House. And I can say with no reservation that I would act as a character
reference for her.
If there is any further information that I can provide, please do not hesitate to contact me at +27

Yours sincerely,
