The saying goes that two heads are better than one, and a strategic sport partnership between the North-West University’s (NWU’s) campuses in Potchefstroom and Vanderbijlpark bears testament to this.

’n Mens leer lewenslesse deur aan sport deel te neem – lesse soos dissipline, verantwoordelikheid, selfvertroue, aanspreeklikheid en spanwerk. In die geval van hokkiespelers aan die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) se kampus in Vanderbijlpark help sport ook om die finansiële las te verlig wat met universiteitstudies gepaardgaan.

The North-West University (NWU) athletics team flexed their muscles, literally and figuratively, at the recent Varsity Athletics Championships held at the Bestmed Tuks Stadium. The team – comprising members from its campuses in Mahikeng, Vanderbijlpark and Potchefstroom – walked away with a total of nine gold, six silver and four bronze medals.

It is all systems go for the fourth annual Sasol/NWU Vanderbijlpark Senior Basketball Tournament that will take place from 2 to 4 March 2018.

“In cricket, as in life, you need to know when to switch on and when to switch off – the rest will look after itself.” These words by Sachin Tendulkar, regarded as one of the greatest batsmen of all time, rings particularly true for the North-West University’s (NWU’s) Dwayne Pocock.

Administrators, players and supporters are in agreement that the fourth annual Sasol/NWU Vanderbijlpark Senior Basketball Tournament was not only a showcase of exceptional talent, but also a well-organised event.

Karabo Motlhabane, a third-year BCom student at the North-West University’s (NWU’s) campus in Mahikeng has been selected to be part of the national karate team of University Sports South Africa (USSA).

The North-West University’s annual staff golf day was a huge success, with approximately 50 players taking part.

It is no secret. Successful entrepreneurs all have one thing in common: well established networks. This holds true for both men and women, but more so for the latter.

Five students from the North-West University’s (NWU’s) campus in Mahikeng will form part of the Ju-Jitsu national team that will represent South Africa at the 26th annual United Nations of Ju-Jitsu (UNJJ) world congress and championships.
