Chairperson
Emily Dingle Hi everyone I’m Emily Half your chair for 2019. I’m studying history and I love sudoku. I can be found on and around the dance floor. When I’m dancing don’t be surprised to see me having a fat chat or a good chuckle with my partner. I enjoy a fun dance just as much as I enjoy napping, which is my other favorite activity. What the comm has to say about me: - THE BOSS. Strong personality knows what she wants and how she wants it, a tad impatient, but very sweet with a great sense of humor and easy to talk to. - Super Powers: RUMBA - She is a fun time as well as a great venting partner . Also, I swear she has the best earrings collection by far. - Em is whimsical as a dandelion with a sharp mind and ability to go the distance. Not to mention girl has style for days. - The prettier half of Zamily Dingdom that runs a tight ship. |
Chairperson
Zalin Strydom Hi I'm Zalin Half your chair for 2019. I'm in my 4th year at UCT studying a BBusSci Actuarial sciences with special topics in statistical sciences. My level in Ballroom and Latin is Gold. I’d say I’m a nerdy and funny person(to look at and talk to). What comm has to say about me: - THE HOUND. Great sense of humour, strong personality and a great guy to the core. He is always keen to help with either steps or technique. Straight talker handles conflict very well. If someone is bothering you in the society, he’s your guy. - If Zalin was a snack he would be marshmallows. Soft and sweet but once put in a fire they have the ability to burn you. Really a go-to snack for a go-to guy. - His go to saying is “No No No No No”. And he also is a master of pulling faces during a cha-cha. - Super organised, slightly scary. Will somehow end being your boss one day, unless the whole accounting thing doesn't work out and he becomes a full-time dance coach. Even then he'll still be a boss. - Side bae who will drive to hell and back for me, who listens to my problems and always tries to put himself in my shoes. |
Vice-chair
Bonke mzimeli Hi I'm Bonke I'm your vice chair. I'm in my 4th year in mechanical and mechatronics engineering as well as dancing. Thus a bronze level dancer. I’d say I’m friendly and approachable, if you see me around, feel free to come say Hi. What comm has to say about me: - This is our resident Prince Charming. Incase you haven’t been charmed yet. Watch out but for real though, he really is the sweetest and most genuine person. - Super Powers: CRAZY HIPS - He can convince anyone to do anything because his charm is on another level. He also plays the role of Draco Malfoy a little too well. - His best dance is his Rhythm Foxtrot - If the popular kid was legitimately insanely talented and still managed to be a cool guy in spite of it all. |
Treasurer
Primrose Ramokotjo Hi, I’m Primrose 🤪 I’m your Treasurer. I can be found doing two things: on the floor dancing or off the floor annoying someone. I smile a lot and say a lot of random things. Super excited for the 2nd half of the year! What comm has to say about me: - THE CRAZY ONE. Craziest person I know, has a great sense of humour and a bubbly personality. She is a great listener and is also very observant. Her confidence is on fleek and she is a happy person. Wherever she is people are happy. - So basically, Primrose is like an orange. What I mean is... Just like the way nothing rhymes with orange, there’s no one else like Primrose. She is so uniquely crazy and weird, but we love her just the way she is. - Each time I get used to the hairstyle, length or dye, it changes - She is crazy.I stopped questioning certain things that she does and just understood that it’s because she is crazy (well that’s until it has something to do with the society’s budget) - I think her name says it all. A wonderful and beautiful rose in this drab world. Thing is, roses often prick you when you least expect it, so don’t get on her bad side. |
Intra-society rep
Shaun Silson Hi I’m Shaun Even though I’ve been dancing for quite a while my technique is a bit iffy and I kinda hack my way through a lot of the syllabus moves. But the girls still seem to enjoy it. So I guess I’m doing something right... What comm has to say about me: - When you get confused with his moves whilst dancing with him don’t worry, he’s probably just as confused as you are. - Dance Hacker - After 3 years I still don’t know how you have such much energy over 3 days of O-Week |
Head of systems
Cuen van der Horst Hey, I’m Cuen I’m your head of systems. My typical week includes studying teaching, sound engineering & throwing girls through the air. I dance more for social than skill but am always happy to show off a few lifts and dangerous dips. Apparently I can be intimidating but really I’m a big softy, so come say hi! What comm has to say about me: - THE DIP JUNKIE. Humble, nice and one of the sincerest people I know. Has a great personality and sense of humor. Likes dancing but would rather cut to the bit with the lifts and dips. Don’t worry though, he’s the best at it. - The heart throb that is still somehow a complete and utter NERD - If you’re an adrenaline junkie, this is your go to guy. Ladies, he will lift, toss and spin you in the air like a pro. Gents, he is always happy to teach you how to be just like him. - An amazing God following man. So please God I pray that you never let Cuen shave ever again. - “Do you even dip bro?” |
Inter-varsity rep
Harry Heathcock Just your average 3rd year university shy person, you know, does computer science and maths, is way too into fantasy fiction, likes anime, plays video games, does dancing, joins comm, does tutoring. Wait, does dancing? Wait, does comm? Wait, is actually Houdini reincarnated? Nope, nothing to see here folks, move along, move along. What comm has to say about me: - The Society’s one Airbender. His powers include his wake boarding skills which then have him the appropriate name of Harry Styles. - Resident magician, leader in Latin flair and provider of epic metal vocals - Harry.... No not Potter although he has his own magical abilities. Looking for a witty dry sense of humour and good-natured smile then this is your guy. - Deep green Acoustic Guitar - Ever seen avatar? If you haven’t it would be much more efficient to just watch Harry cha-cha or rumba |

Ehber Burger I am Ehbs. Ehbs is eccentric, weird, energetic and loves graceful dances. I Love to eat although I’m trying to lessen that, I Love to dance sokkie, and I’m willing to drive to Stellenbosch to get it. You will easily spot a wild Ehbs in class... being tall, bespectacled and loud. I’m not very fond of Latin, so don’t bother asking to dance cha-cha with me. What comm has to say to about me: - THE SMOOTH CRIMINAL. Great sense of Humour, down to earth, very chilled and laid back. He is one of those people you can easily talk to. You never see him coming, then boom he’s there. - A weirdo at first sight, but the brightest doth shine his light. - He is our Tall teddy bear because he is super nice. He can also finish an entire Gatsby by himself which should win him some sort of award. - Totally unflappable (and secretly much cooler than the rest of us, even Bonke). |
Socials
Kgotso Nadaba Hi I’m Kgotso 😋 I’m the Socials Rep. I’m shy until you get to know me. Then it’s just craziness and random dance moves and laughter all the way. What comm has to say about me: - THE FIXER. Great personality, sense of humor, fun to be around, also quite crazy. Don’t ever let her hear you bad mouth the Marvel universe, it will be the end of you. She gets stuff done, if you’re ever in a bind find her. - Super powers: SAMBA HIPS - This girl is such a free spirit, she’s always laughing about something and she really shares that happiness with everyone. Everybody knows she’s got the magic in her HiPS: NEVER fall in front of Kgotso because, wow, she has absolutely no capability of keeping her laugh inside. - The loudest shy person I know. - Sassy in small package. We are still debating if she is short or average height. |

If you’re feeling down and need a pick-me-up, Khanyi is your girl. - Well her “hips don’t lie” and after just a short time dancing with her you’ll be “crazy in love” with her salsa - She gives amazing hugs and always shares my love of food stories. - She can be lead to do any move possible and then ends it off with “oooh excitement”. Her favorite color is yellow which is fitting because she is a ray of sunshine - Super Power: SALSA HIPS |

Tshegofatso Lebeko Hello! I’m Tshegofatso and just like my name, I’m a lot to handle for some or an easy breeze for others. I’m in 3rd year of occupational therapy and I’ve been in the society for 4 years. Super excited for IV 2019! What comm has to say about me: - THE BEE . Very sweet and has a bubbly personality, contagiously crazy and fun to be around. Great sense of humor and very opinionated, say something questionable, and you’ll feel her quick sting. - It’s almost as if she was spawned from a comic book. Overly dramatic, funny and way more often than not the loudest person in the room. - What is it like to know Tshego? You ever ordered 10 wings and got 11? Yeah that’s what it’s like. What I mean is that you know she is such an amazingly weird person and just when you think you know all about her, she surprises you with yet another amazing quality. - Deep Blue Viola - She is your go to person for a good laugh. She also remembers EVERYTHING, even if it was something small you said in passing. So moral of the story is to never lie to her. |
