Five North-West University (NWU) athletes are going to show their mettle at Athletics South Africa’s National Athletics Championships on 18 September 2021 in Kwa-Zulu Natal.

Gregory Moholola, Ntokozo Sibiya, Success Mashego, Pusetso Mokoena and Dibuseng Khampepe have qualified for the championships during the recent annual Cross Country Provincial Competition hosted by Athletics North West in Zeerust.

It was darn close. Too close. On Sunday afternoon, the NWU Eagles were stopped in their tracks in a heart-breaking way in the Varsity Netball campaign against the eventual winners, Kovsies, with a score of 66–65. In the final seconds of the game. The very last seconds. We will be lamenting about this for a long time.

The national cricket team, the Proteas, called the North-West University “home” again when they used the university’s Sport Village in Potchefstroom as a base for their preparations.

The North-West University Eagles are off to a strong start in their 2021 Varsity Netball campaign. The former champions, coached by Elsunet du Plessis, got their tournament off to a blistering start by winning the first four of their five games.

She has proven her resolve more than anyone of her age should have, and Liezl Gouws is ready to prove it again. This fourth-year pharmacy student from the North-West University (NWU), who has cerebral palsy after suffering a stroke as a five-year-old, will represent South Africa at the 2021 Paralympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.

Liezl will compete in the 200 m and 400 m events in the T37 category. She holds the world record in the 800 m event, but the 800 m will not be contested in the Land of the Rising Sun.

The North-West University (NWU) is proud to announce that it will play host to the 2021 FIH Junior Women’s Hockey World Cup.

It has all the characteristics of a Shakespearean tragedy, although the playwright’s special imagery is lacking.

The North-West University’s three Olympic speedsters, Chederick van Wyk, Zakhiti Nene and Pieter Conradie, are in the spotlight in Tokyo this week when the relay items commence just before the weekend.

One of the favourite sons of the North-West University (NWU), Chederick van Wyk, currently finds himself in Tokyo, Japan, in the company of a hand-picked group of South Africans who will fly the country’s flag at the Olympic Games. Van Wyk, who will take part in the 4 X 100 m relay, took some time after supper to share his experiences in Tokyo so far.

She is the cannon arm of 1 NWU Battalion and in a few weeks’ time, she and her fellow citizens are going to start their campaign in the theatre of the Pacific Ocean.  Yes, Jo-Ané van Dyk is going to the Olympic Games.
