Student Konnect is an all-in-one super app. Unisa Enterprise collaborated strategically with Omnex Global and African Bank to develop it. Omnex Global is a global technology innovation company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The platform was launched on Wednesday, 11 March 2026, at Coastal KZN TVET College, the largest TVET college in KwaZulu-Natal. The event drew significant attendance from students eager to register and explore its features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/braamvibes.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Coastal-TVET-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4634\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Student Konnect represents a major advancement in creating a connected, accessible, and digitally enabled higher education ecosystem in South Africa. It integrates essential student services, opportunities, and support systems into a single, user-friendly platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unisa Enterprise CEO Lesetsa Matshekga stated: &#8220;Student Konnect is a comprehensive digital platform. It brings together essential student services, opportunities, and support systems. Everything is available in a single, easy-to-use application. It supports students and the broader higher education ecosystem at multiple levels. You might be a recent matriculant exploring institutions. Perhaps you are a student seeking a tutor. You could also be a lecturer aiming to connect more effectively with students.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added: &#8220;We have consolidated multiple tools and services. These help students navigate their academic journeys. They also prepare them for the world of work.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Omnex Global CEO HRH Jamal Mathibe described the platform as a &#8220;virtual mall&#8221; offering convenient access to vital services. &#8220;We have partnered with Matador Digital. They collaborate with major retailers to provide savings and rewards programmes. These programmes empower students to sustain themselves during their studies,&#8221; Mathibe explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The app also includes a virtual learning portal. Lecturers can create digital classrooms and connect directly with students. The app also provides study materials to enhance knowledge connectivity and critical thinking. An AI-powered language translation tool further supports students from diverse linguistic backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This collaboration leverages expertise in education, technology, and financial services to empower students and strengthen South Africa&#8217;s higher education landscape. Coastal KZN TVET College Student Support Officer Mthokozisi Ndlovu noted the platform&#8217;s immediate value: &#8220;It simplifies students&#8217; lives. It allows them to focus on studies, personal development, and family time. This is achieved by reducing the need for multiple platforms.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assistant Director Sizakele Mbatha encouraged registration: &#8220;We urge our students to join. This will minimise communication tools as this becomes our centralised platform. We invite other institutions to participate, fostering communities across colleges.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students and stakeholders can register and learn more at&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/student-konnect.com\/\">student-konnect.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A groundbreaking digital solution has been unveiled.
