I found him to be a consummate professional, diligent, intelligent, creative and affable.His work, particularly in establishing efficient and effective elearning programs in developing settings, and in general in introducing educational technology in developing countries/environments, has been on the forefront of delivering the promise of technology for education to the developing world.

“Philip's enthusiasm and foresight was responsible for the creation of the SANTEC network for learning with technology. This organisation was largely responsible for bringing together prominent world figures who worked in the field of computers in education in South Africa. This would not have happened had it not been for Philip's persistence and passion.” January 5, 2010

“I am pleased to write a recommendation on behalf of Dr, Philip Uys with whom I worked for quite sometime at SANTEC. Throughout my period with him, I found him an innovative, visionary, and versatile leader. He directed the affairs of SANTEC with charm and verve and, above all, helped to develop a number of colleagues in online education and learning. His adroitness in the field of E-Learning is an asset. His accomplishment of tasks in this and related areas in a record time is commendable. I recommend him without any reservation for a position, contract, or consultancy in any organisation. Fred Opali” December 31, 2009

“Philip is a good team leader, even remotely and via electronic media. Although I have never had the privilege to meet with Philip, I feel I know him after our virtual work in the SANTEC team for over 3 years where I administered a LISTSERV for the team. He is clear in his requests, very quick "on the draw", and he delivers what he promises. It is a pleasure to work with him. From: Hentie Wilson, Unisa, Pretoria” April 23, 2009
