Reshaping the branding of small and medium SA businesses post-Covid-19
On the African continent South Africa is among the worst hit by the Covid-19 pandemic.

BEWARE: Conditions are ideal for an outbreak of Rift Valley Fever
The good rains that have fallen over the last month in many areas of South Africa have caused ideal conditions for an outbreak of Rift Valley Fever (RVF). These conditions include flooding and the formation of pans of water in which the Aedes mosquito breeds and multiplies. This mosquito is the vector for transmission of the RVF virus, which is…https://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-optentia-host-lecture-world-renowned-professor-opportunities-and-challenges-covid-19

Akker ’n Europese reus
Daar kan seker nie ’n meer kontrasterende vertoning wees van twee rugbyspelers se persoonlikhede as toe die vuisgeveg tussen Schalk Brits en Akker van der Merwe in 2019 plaasgevind het nie. Die twee Springbok-hakers – Brits in die blou van die Bulle, Van der Merwe in die swart van die Sharks – het mekaar tydens die Superrugby-wedstryd behoorlik…https://news.nwu.ac.za/akker-european-colossus
Akker a European colossus
There cannot be a more contrasting display of two rugby players’ personalities than the punch-up between Schalk Brits and Akker van der Merwe in 2019. The two Springbok hookers – Brits donning the blue of the Bulls, Van der Merwe the black of the Sharks – had a no-holds-barred brawl during their sides’ Super Rugby clash. Both received red cards…https://news.nwu.ac.za/af/daniels-die-nwu-varsitybeker-kaptein

Nuwe boek vestig die aandag op migrante en hul geestesgesondheidsuitdagings
Afgryslike tonele van migrante wat op see omgekom het terwyl hulle op soek is na ’n beter lewe, is ’n te algemene gesig op televisieskerms, aanlyn en in koerantberigte. Uiterste honger, onderdrukkende regerings en etniese en godsdienskonflik word as van die bydraende faktore vir die krisis genoem. ’n Akademikus van die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU…https://news.nwu.ac.za/new-book-highlights-migrants-mental-health-challenges
New book highlights migrants’ mental health challenges
Horrific scenes of migrants who have perished on the high seas while in search of a better life is a too-familiar sight on television screens, online and in newspaper pages.

A North-West University (NWU) academic…https://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-home-tennis
