Thutong, a name that beautifully means "a place of learning" in Setswana, truly embodies the spirit of our residence.
Here, we are more than just a place to stay; we are a nurturing home where every student is encouraged to grow, learn, and thrive.
Our community prides itself on providing a supportive environment that not only fosters academic excellence but also strengthens the bonds of sisterhood.
At Thutong, we believe in uplifting one another, celebrating our achievements together, and being there through the challenges.
It's a place where lifelong friendships are forged, and each member of our family is empowered to become the best version of themselves.
Together, we create a vibrant, healthy, and inspiring atmosphere that makes every day at Thutong a step closer to fulfilling our dreams and aspirations.
