NWU-navorsers help om die pad vorentoe vir waterstof in Suid-Afrika uit te stippel
Die Aarde is in die moeilikheid. Ons is besig om onder wolke van koolstofdioksiedvrystellings te verstik as gevolg van die gebruik van steenkool en ander hulpbronne om energie op te wek, en dit doen die omgewing skade aan. Hierdie vrystellings is die primêre oorsaak van aardverwarming, en as die mens die ergste gevolge van aardverwarming* wil…https://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-researchers-help-map-way-forward-hydrogen-south-africa
NWU researchers help map the way forward for hydrogen in South Africa
The Earth is in trouble. It is suffocating under clouds of carbon dioxide emissions from the use of coal and other environmentally damaging resources to generate energy. These emissions are the primary cause of global warming, and if humanity wants to avoid the worst consequences of global warming*, we have to find alternatives for our energy…https://news.nwu.ac.za/no-limitations-quadriplegic-brandon
No limitations for quadriplegic Brandon
Bertie Jacobs There are 23 metres between the bridge and the water of the Vaal River just outside Bothaville. The fall lasted just more than two seconds. Those two seconds on 8 August 2020 changed Brandon Moolman’s life irrevocably. Before he – and his friends next to him – decided spontaneously to jump from the bridge that afternoon, he lived…https://news.nwu.ac.za/af/geen-beperkings-vir-kwadrupleeg-brandon-nie
Geen beperkings vir kwadrupleeg Brandon nie
Bertie Jacobs Daar is 23 meter tussen die brug en die water van die Vaalrivier net buite Bothaville. Die val het net meer as twee sekondes geduur. Dit is twee sekondes wat op 8 Augustus 2020 Brandon Moolman se lewe onherroeplik verander het. Voor hy spontaan besluit het om – met sy vriende langs hom – daardie agtermiddag van die brug af te spring…https://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-celebrates-excellent-saica-results

The war in Ukraine: a costly inflection point
Bertie Jacobs The war in the Ukraine continues to rage on. Thousands are dead, millions have been displaced and the world awaits an uncertain outcome.

Die oorlog in Oekraïne: ’n duur keerpunt
Bertie Jacobs Die oorlog in die Oekraïne woed voort. Duisende is dood, miljoene is ontheem en die wêreld wag op ’n onseker uitkoms. Die konflik het talle gevolge op baie verskillende fronte gehad, en die kontinent waarop dit plaasvind, is nie onaangeraak gelaat nie.

Bertie Jacobs Jinne, dit gaan verdeksels naby wees. Die NWU Eagles het Maandagaand 4 April in ʼn papsopnat Bloemfontein hulle uitspeelronde-hoop aan die brand gehou deur die CUT Ixias met 33–14 te klop. Dit was ʼn gepaste geskenk vir afrigter André Pretorius, wat die Eagles in sy vyftigste wedstryd gebrei het. Sy twee voormalige…https://news.nwu.ac.za/eagles-keep-door-semi-finals-open

Bertie Jacobs Oh my goodness, it is going to be a very close call. On Monday evening, 4 April the Eagles kept their playoff hopes alive in a sopping wet Bloemfontein by beating the CUT Ixias by 33–14.

NWU vasberade om die kollig op geslagsgebaseerde geweld te laat val
Die getalle spreek vanself: ’n baie groot getal vroue in Suid-Afrika leef in gevaar. Volgens ’n studie deur Statistieke Suid-Afrika het een uit vyf (21%) vroue met lewensmaats in hulle leeftyd al fisieke geweld deur ’n lewensmaat deurgemaak, en 6% het al seksuele geweld ervaar.

“Meester”. Dit is ʼn titel wat min beskore is. Top van die top, beste van die beste. Dis wanneer ʼn beroep ʼn roeping word en daarna tot ʼn kuns ontwikkel word. Terseus Liebenberg val gewis in dié kategorie. Oor meer as drie dekades het sy kennis en vernuf atlete met talent geneem en hulle in wêreldsterre omvorm.

With every stair Tebogo climbs to the stage, with every step he takes across the stage, the heart of his mom, Jane Fransman, beats faster. Thump-thump, thump-thump. Proud beats.

Duwweltjiepad ontsenu nie vir Jane Fransman nie
Met elke trappie wat Tebogo tot op die verhoog klim, met elke tree wat hy oor die verhoog gee, het sy ma, Jane Fransman, se hart vinniger begin klop. Doef-doef, doef-doef. Trotse slae. Toe hy tot stilstand kom en dáár, in die ouditorium op die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) se Potchefstroomkampus, sy onderwysgraad ontvang, wou sy uit haar vel bars.…https://news.nwu.ac.za/af/bbp-syfers-toon-dat-ekonomiese-produksie-feitlik-weer-op-voorpandemievlakke
