Janneman Malan se betowering duur voort
Niemand – nie eers Janneman Malan self nie – sal onder enige illusie wees dat sy Bradmanese gemiddelde in die eendagwedstryde vir die Proteas sal voortduur nie. Gewone sterflinge kan nie sulke prestasies volhou nie (tensy jy natuurlik sir Don Bradman is – hoewel die Aussie-legende nooit witbalkrieket gespeel het nie). Hierdie 25-jarige…http://news.nwu.ac.za/reading-literacy-nwu-closes-gap-between-theory-and-practice
Reading literacy: NWU closes gap between theory and practice

They are of the opinion that the reality of…http://news.nwu.ac.za/flexibility-and-staying-positive-are-key-boosting-tourism
Flexibility and staying positive are key to boosting tourism
A North-West University (NWU) academic at the School of Tourism Management is calling for fresh and innovative thinking to boost the local tourism sector, which has declined by almost 80% since 2019.

Die stryd teen GBV
Suid-Afrika word elke paar maande geskud deur ’n storie van geslagsgebaseerde geweld (GBV) wat die meeste van ons verstom laat. Die liggaam van ’n finalejaarstudent in die Regte is onlangs in ’n verminkte toestand in ’n plastieksak buite Oos-Londen gevind. Haar seksmaat is vir die beweerde misdaad in hegtenis geneem. Hierdie insident het skokgolwe…http://news.nwu.ac.za/fight-against-gbv
The fight against GBV
Every few months South Africa is rocked by a gender-based violence (GBV) story that leaves most citizens in disbelief.

Die wêreld is ’n betowerende plek vol interessante gebeure en voorvalle. Dit vind nie in isolasie plaas nie, en om die ingewikkeldhede van enige gebeurtenis of interaksie ten volle te verstaan, is dit belangrik om die “groter prentjie” daaragter te ondersoek. Dit is kortliks waaroor stelselwetenskap gaan. Dit gee aan die navorser die gereedskap…http://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-trailblazer-heads-international-society-systems-sciences
NWU trailblazer heads International Society for the Systems Sciences
The world is a mesmerising place filled with interesting events and occurrences. These do not happen in isolation, and to fully understand the intricacies of any given event or interaction, it is necessary to investigate the “bigger picture” surrounding it. This, in a nutshell, is what systems science is all about. It provides the researcher…http://news.nwu.ac.za/young-female-innovators-shine-during-modiragatsi-youth-innovation-competition

The Covid-19 pandemic and its strain on women
Not only has the Covid-19 pandemic put significant strain on the global economy and public health systems, but it also contributed to greater inequality and discrimination against women.

NWU female coach is breaking stereotypes in football
Football administration and coaching have long been dominated by men all around the world, but the winds of change are blowing.

Die goeie nuus oor Suid-Afrika se groeiprestasie in die tweede kwartaal van 2021 is te verwelkom. Dit suggereer ’n stadige maar bestendige herstel van die skokke wat as gevolg van die verdere inperkings en burgerlike onrus vroeër hierdie jaar ervaar is.
