Martiné Jordaan trek Protea-keurders se aandag
Sy is allermins ’n hemelbesem, en op die netbalbaan word sy dikwels deur wolkekrabbers omring. Hart en durf word egter nie in sentimeters gemeet nie, en die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) se Martiné Jordaan is ʼn vuurvreter op die baan soos min.

She has even caught the eye of the selectors for the Protea team, and from 22 to 28 January she was part…https://news.nwu.ac.za/af/voordeel-suzanie-pretorius
Voordeel, Suzanie Pretorius!
Sy naam is Schalk, Schalk Pretorius. En as dit nie vir Schalk Pretorius was nie, was die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) ’n tenniskampioen kwyt. Jare gelede, in die mielieboergemeenskap van Bothaville, besluit ʼn jong Schalk dat hy gaan begin tennis speel. Goed so, sê ma Erika en pa Vickus, tennis sal jy speel. As die een kind speel, sal die ander een…https://news.nwu.ac.za/advantage-suzanie-pretorius
Advantage, Suzanie Pretorius!
His name is Schalk, Schalk Pretorius. And if it had not been for Schalk Pretorius, the North-West University (NWU) would have lost a tennis champion.

If the one child…https://news.nwu.ac.za/expert/veliswa-tshetsha
