Burger nou Rugbyinstituut se veldmaarskalk
Dit is ʼn snikhete Donderdagmiddag met die kwik wat so hoog styg soos beurtkraggemoedere. Die Rugbyinstituut van die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) se spankamer, aikona, oorlogkamer, is egter koel. ʼn Tafelgrootte replika van ʼn rugbyveld begroet jou as jy instap, asook Burger van der Westhuizen, die NWU Eagles se nuwe Varsitybeker-afrigter. Hy neem…http://news.nwu.ac.za/burger-now-field-marshal-rugby-institute
Burger now field marshal at the Rugby Institute
It is a sizzler of a Thursday afternoon with the mercury as high as load-shedding tempers. However, the team room of the Rugby Institute at the North-West University (NWU) – no, the war room – is cool. A table-sized replica of a rugby field greets you as you enter the room, as does Burger van der Westhuizen, the new Varsity Cup coach for the NWU…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/nuwe-hoofdirekteur-vir-die-nwu-besigheidskool-die-man-agter-die-titel
Nuwe hoofdirekteur vir die NWU Besigheidskool – die man agter die titel
Dit is nou algemene kennis. Ná groot afwagting is bekendgemaak dat dr Joseph Sekhampu die nuwe hoofdirekteur van die Besigheidskool by die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) is. Maar wie is Joseph Sekhampu, en wat is sy visie vir die skool en vir die lewe in die algemeen?

New chief director for NWU Business School – the man behind the title
So, the word is out, and after much anticipation, Dr Joseph Sekhampu was announced to be the new chief director of the Business School at the North-West University (NWU). But who is Joseph Sekhampu, and what is his vision for the school and for life in general? Who is the man in the golden seat and how does he operate workwise, life-wise and dream…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/onder-19-wereldbekervuurwerke-gee-vrouekrieket-n-hupstoot
Onder-19-wêreldbekervuurwerke gee vrouekrieket ’n hupstoot
Hoe lank sal krieket nog as die “Gentleman’s Game” bekendstaan, of is daardie bynaam reeds iets van die verlede? Vrouekrieket het hand oor hand toegeneem en hierdie tendens het in 2023 voortgegaan met die IKK se Onder-19 Krieket Wêreldbeker vir Vroue. Die gebeurtenis is in Suid-Afrika aangebied en het op drie plekke plaasgevind, naamlik by die…http://news.nwu.ac.za/under-19-world-cup-fireworks-ignite-womens-cricket
Under-19 world cup fireworks ignite women’s cricket
How long will cricket still be known as the “Gentleman’s Game”, or is that nickname already a thing of the past? Women’s cricket has grown by leaps and bounds and this trend has continued in 2023 with the ICC Women’s Under-19 Cricket World Cup. The event, which was staged in South Africa, took place at three venues, namely the North-West…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/etiese-leierskap-vir-die-nuwe-werksomgewing
Etiese leierskap vir die nuwe werksomgewing
Een van die grootste uitdagings vir leiers in die huidige toenemend aanlyn besigheidswêreld is hoe om hulle werk as bestuurders uit te voer. In die verlede was dit vir leiers makliker om ’n kultuur van vertroue en integriteit te bevorder, omdat hulle geweet het wat elkeen besig was om te doen en hulle kon sien wanneer iemand nie in ooreenstemming…http://news.nwu.ac.za/ethical-leadership-new-world-work
Ethical leadership for the new world of work
One of the biggest challenges for leaders in today's increasingly online business world is how to carry out their job as managers. In the past, it was easier for leaders to promote a culture of trust and integrity because they knew what everyone was doing and could see when someone was not performing in accordance with their ethics. But now, with…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/ouers-verskil-van-leerders-en-onderwysers-hulle-sienings-oor-lyfstraf-skole
Ouers verskil van leerders en onderwysers in hulle sienings oor lyfstraf by skole
Dit is duidelik dat iets aan dissipline in skole gedoen moet word, maar om weer lyfstraf terug te bring, selfs op ’n beperkte skaal, is waarskynlik nie die antwoord nie. Dit is een van die bevindings van ’n studie deur dr Noorullah Shaikhnag, senior lektor en adjunkdirekteur by die Skool vir Psigososiale Opvoeding van die Noordwes-Universiteit…http://news.nwu.ac.za/parents-differ-learners-and-teachers-their-views-corporal-punishment-schools
Parents differ from learners and teachers in their views on corporal punishment in schools
It is clear that something needs to be done about discipline in schools, but reintroducing corporal punishment, even on a limited scale, is probably not the answer. This is one of the findings of a study by Dr Noorullah Shaikhnag, senior lecturer and deputy director at the School of Psycho-Social Education of the North-West University (NWU…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/waternet-simposium-n-groot-sukses

Water is ’n noodsaaklike komponent van lewe op aarde, en ons kan nie daarsonder oorleef nie. Die hartseer werklikheid is egter dat ons hierdie hulpbron as vanselfsprekend beskou en dat baie meer gedoen moet word om dit te bewaar.

Water is an essential component of life on earth, and without it we cannot survive. However, the sad reality is that we take this resource for granted, and much more should be done to conserve it.
