During the month of December, the three main gates of the campuses of the North-West University (NWU) in Mahikeng, Potchefstroom and Vanderbijlpark will be illuminated in purple as a symbolic gesture of perseverance during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The North-West University (NWU) honoured some of its most remarkable alumni at an awards ceremony in Sandton on 26 November.

The university’s prestigious Alumni Awards of Excellence gave recognition in nine categories to prominent alumni who have excelled professionally in their respective fields of expertise and who have made exemplary contributions to society – nationally and internationally.

During a virtual ceremony on 25 November the North-West University (NWU) acknowledged staff for their exceptional contributions to teaching and learning, research and community engagement.

It is with sadness that the North-West University (NWU) has learned of the passing of former President FW de Klerk.

As law student and later as chancellor of the former Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education (PU for CHE, now NWU), the late President de Klerk left a huge footprint at the university. His legacy as statesman, Nobel Peace Prize winner and his work for cultural and welfare organisations will always be remembered. He was an ambassador for the NWU and South Africa.

It is with mixed feelings that the NWU announces the resignation of Prof Dan Kgwadi who has accepted the position of vice-chancellor of the Vaal University of Technology. Although we join him in the celebration of his new endeavor, we are sad to lose him.

Prof Kgwadi has played a crucial role in the transformation journey and the success of the NWU. His contribution to the NWU will always be appreciated. During the NWU Council meeting in November 2019, Council reappointed Prof Kgwadi for a second term which would have come to an end in May 2024.
