Brue Raath Pr.Eng CEng
Education and Training Manager
Bruce Raath graduated from the University
of Natal with a BSc degree in Civil
Engineering and joined the engineering
division of the South AfricanTransport
Services in 1970.
In 1979 he joined the consulting practice
DL Webb and Associates where he became
an associate in 1983. In 1984 he joined
the lecturing staff of the ML Sultan
Technikon where he became senior lecturer
in structural design and theory of structures.
He first joined the Cement and Concrete
Institute in 1989 as the Regional Manager
for KwaZulu-Natal but formed his own
company called Contest in 1997. As a
partner in Contest he was involved in
consulting and testing in the field
of concrete and started a training division.
He rejoined the C&CI in 2006 as
the Education and Training manager.
Petrus Jooste MSc(Eng) Wits
Senior Lecturer
Petrus Jooste started his career in a structural drawing office in
1982, after completing his compulsory military training. Whilst
working at Eskom as a technician, he obtained the ND Civil Eng in
1985. After working as draughtsman and model maker at various
firms, he lectured at the Technical College of Johannesburg for
five years. In 1997 he joined the University of Johannesburg where
he lectured for the next 10 years. It was during this time that he
obtained an MSc Eng from Wits for his thesis titled "Approaches
to mix design and measurement of workability for self-compacting
concrete". He also undertook research on rheology of concrete.
This wide academic and practical career, together with his
experience as a lecturer in concrete technology and other built
environment related subjects e.g. construction methods and
applied mechanics, makes Petrus ideally suited for the position of
senior lecturer he holds since joining the C&CI during 2008.
Matthews Magwaza
Trainer
Matthews Magwaza was introduced to the
world of cement
and concrete when he joined Cement Distributors
of South
Africa in 1996, where he remained for
seven years. He joined
the C&CI in 1999 where his contribution
to running the
training laboratory, and to training
in the field of pre-tertiary
education was invaluable. He had developed
his knowledge
of cement and concrete to the extent
that he is now a
valuable lecturer in the department.
His ability to speak five
African languages has made him a popular
asset to the
School, as he is able to offer explanations
and answer
questions from learners in a language
they understand.
