Charonike bly radio se goue meisie
Sy is die onbetwiste goue meisie van die Noordwes-Universiteit se klankgolwe, en op Vrydag 30 Julie het Charonike Nel dit weereens bewys toe sy tydens die nasionale Radiotoekennings as die Beste Kampus Ontbytprogram-aanbieder aangewys is.

Projekte oor reaksie op siektes wil Suid-Afrika selfonderhoudend maak
In ’n tyd van Covid-19-tamheid word landsburgers nou met ’n selfs dodeliker en hoogs oordraagbare Delta-variant gekonfronteer. Hierdie nuwe virusmutasie het ’n impak op die reeds oorlaaide gesondheidstelsel met te min hulpbronne. Wat nog meer kommerwekkend is, is dat op dag 460 van die staat van inperking in Suid-Afrika minder as 1% van die Suid-…http://news.nwu.ac.za/disease-response-projects-aim-make-africa-self-sufficient
Disease response projects aim to make Africa self-sufficient
In a time of Covid-19 fatigue, citizens are now confronted with an even deadlier and highly transmissible Delta variant. This new virus mutation impacts on already overburdened and under-resourced health systems. More alarming is that on day 460 of the lockdown in South Africa, less than 1% of the population was fully immunised. Also, in June,…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/meerjarige-grasse-die-antwoord-vir-die-herstel-van-veld
Meerjarige grasse is die antwoord vir die herstel van veld
In ’n waterskaarsland soos Suid-Afrika met toenemende eise vir weiding, kan gekweekte meerjarige grasse die antwoord wees op die bewaring van die veld en die verskaffing van voeding vir diere. “Droogtes, min reën en oorbeweiding het groot degradasie van die veld veroorsaak, en dus is die herstel van die veld ’n prioriteit vir produsente…http://news.nwu.ac.za/perennial-grasses-are-answer-veld-restoration
Perennial grasses are the answer for veld restoration
In a water-scarce country like South Africa with growing demands for grazing, cultivated perennial grasses could be the answer to protecting the veld and providing nutrition for animals. “Droughts, scarcity of rain and overgrazing have caused a lot of degradation of the veld, and therefore veld restoration is a priority for farmers and the…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/middelengels-wakker-die-verbeelding-van-topgegradeerde-navorser-aan

Navorsing bekyk hoe interpretasie Bybellees in Afrika bepaal
Die manier waarop die Skrif gelees en geïnterpreteer word, het ’n beduidende invloed op wat mense in die Bybel lees. Dit bepaal ook hulle benadering tot kwellende en aktuele kwessies waarmee gelowiges worstel. Dít is die fokus van prof Marius Nel, navorsingsleerstoel in Ekumenisme: Pentekostalisme en Neo-Pentekostalisme, se navorsing oor die…http://news.nwu.ac.za/research-looks-how-interpretation-affects-bible-reading-africa
Research looks at how interpretation affects Bible reading in Africa
The way in which Scripture is read and interpreted has a major effect on what people read in the Bible. This also determines their approach to concerning and topical issues with which the faithful struggle. This is the focus of the research by Prof Marius Nel, research chair in Ecumenism: Pentecostalism and Neo-Pentecostalism, on the…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/pasop-vir-besmette-vleis-wat-op-straat-verkoop-word
Pasop vir besmette vleis wat op straat verkoop word
Die groot verskeidenheid bakteriële spesies wat aangetref word in voorbereide vleis wat op Johannesburg se strate verkoop word, is ’n aanduiding dat verbruikers van hierdie vleis gevaar loop om voedselvergiftiging op te doen. Dit is volgens die bevindings van ’n meestersgraadstudie wat deur dr Mpinda Edoaurd Tshipamba van die Noordwes-…http://news.nwu.ac.za/watch-out-contaminated-meat-sold-streets
Watch out for contaminated meat sold on the streets
The wide range of bacterial species found in ready-to-eat meat sold on the streets of Johannesburg indicates that consumers of this meat could be at risk of food poisoning.

A look at SA’s Constitution
For many years the South African Constitution was seen as one of the best-written constitutions and examples of constitutionalism on the African continent.
