Being visually impaired does not hold this NWU alumnus and PhD graduate back
Disability is not inability. Advocate Jan Tladi confirmed this statement when he defied the odds and became the first completely blind student to graduate with a PhD from the North-West University’s (NWU’s) Mahikeng Campus. Jan enrolled at the NWU Business School in Mahikeng in 2017, and successfully completed his degree in 2020.

Ntokozo Happy Msiza, a North-West University (NWU) researcher and PhD student in the subject group Animal Sciences, has broken new ground when she completed a MSc degree in pasture science, a scarce skill and male-dominated field of study.

Kaptein Chederick wil weer sy ou vorm terugkry
Chederick van Wyk is in die jaar van kampioene gebore, en dit is wat hy geword het. Die wêreld het vir die eerste keer op 8 Februarie 1995 met hierdie toekomstige naelloper kennis gemaak, ’n paar maande voor die Springbokke die Web Ellis-trofee op ’n geskiedkundige middag op Ellispark omhoog gehou het. Die voorsienigheid het ook ’n toekomsplan vir…http://news.nwu.ac.za/captain-chederick-wants-return-form
Captain Chederick wants to return to form
Chederick van Wyk was born in the year of champions, and that is what he has become. The world first met this future sprinter on 18 February 1995, a few months before the Springboks lifted the Web Ellis Trophy on a historic afternoon at Ellis Park. Destiny also had a plan for the young boy from Prieska. Between 2018 and 2019 Chederick was at…http://news.nwu.ac.za/solid-start-eagles
Solid start for Eagles
The North-West University Eagles are off to a solid start in the 2021 Varsity Cup tournament with two wins from three games. They first beat the Madibaz from NMMU 47–28 and old rivals Shimlas 32–22 before André Pretorius’s side came undone against Tukkies in a resounding 33–15 loss. The Eagles occupy the fifth position on the overall log…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/die-nwu-se-eentoets-slotwonders

Daar is twee stelle trappe wat na die eerste vloer van die Noordwes-Universiteit se Hoëprestasie-instituut lei. Soos jy teen die trappe opstap, sien jy aan die een kant foto's van sportbestuurders wat die NWU na die boonste vlakke van varsity-glorie gelei het. Helené Botha het die NWU se netbalspan gehelp om die Varsitybeker te verower, en so ook…http://news.nwu.ac.za/nwus-one-test-lock-wonders
The NWU’s one-test lock wonders

Sharks-legende Botes in NWU-kamp
Sharks-legende Jacques Botes is as deel van Burger van der Westhuizen se afrigtingspersoneel vir die naderende klubrugbykompetisies gekontrakteer, wat – in die lig van sy uitgebreide ervaring – waarskynlik ’n baie slim aanstelling is. Die voorsienigheid was goed vir Suid-Afrika se losvoorspelers in die eerste twee dekades van die 21ste eeu,…http://news.nwu.ac.za/sharks-legend-botes-nwu-camp
Sharks legend Botes in NWU camp
Sharks legend Jacques Botes has been contracted as part of Burger van der Westhuizen’s coaching staff for the upcoming club rugby competitions, which – given his abundance of experience – can prove to be an astute signing. Providence was kind to South Africa’s loose forwards in the first two decades of the 21st century, but the opposite is…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/wihan-lubbe-proteas-groep

Gedenkwaardige gebeurtenisse op die krieketveld kan talle vorms aanneem – ’n goedbeplande dryfhou verby dekpunt om onder die moeilikste omstandighede ’n honderdtal aan te teken, ’n vangskoot wat alle natuurwette oortree, of ’n boulbeurt wat met soveel venyn en daadkrag afgelewer word dat die opposisie nie hulle wenlopies kan aanteken nie.…http://news.nwu.ac.za/wihan-lubbe-proteas-fold

Memorable exploits on the cricket pitch can take many forms. A sublimely timed cover drive to bring up a century in the most trying of circumstances, a catch that defies the laws of physics, or an over bowled with such venom and resolve that the opposition is unable to secure the winning runs. Wihan Lubbe has scored many valuable runs and has…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/nwu-taalfoendis-vir-bydraes-vereer

Dit is met groot hartseer waarmee die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) vir Tiaan Bezuidenhout moet groet wat tragies in ʼn motorongeluk op Saterdag, 8 Mei gesterf het. Tiaan (26) was die kaptein van die NWU se Varsitybekerspan wat die eindstryd van die 2018-toernooi behaal het.
