NWU vasberade om die kollig op geslagsgebaseerde geweld te laat val
Die getalle spreek vanself: ’n baie groot getal vroue in Suid-Afrika leef in gevaar. Volgens ’n studie deur Statistieke Suid-Afrika het een uit vyf (21%) vroue met lewensmaats in hulle leeftyd al fisieke geweld deur ’n lewensmaat deurgemaak, en 6% het al seksuele geweld ervaar. Die voorkoms van fisieke geweld is die hoogste onder vroue in die Oos-…https://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-committed-putting-gender-based-violence-spotlight
NWU committed to putting gender-based violence in the spotlight
The numbers speak for themselves: a vast number of women in South Africa are living in danger.

The prevalence of physical violence is the highest among…https://news.nwu.ac.za/af/terseus-liebenberg-beste-afrigter-van-afgelope-drie-dekades-aangewys
Terseus Liebenberg as beste afrigter van afgelope drie dekades aangewys
“Meester”. Dit is ʼn titel wat min beskore is. Top van die top, beste van die beste. Dis wanneer ʼn beroep ʼn roeping word en daarna tot ʼn kuns ontwikkel word. Terseus Liebenberg val gewis in dié kategorie. Oor meer as drie dekades het sy kennis en vernuf atlete met talent geneem en hulle in wêreldsterre omvorm. In die onlangse…https://news.nwu.ac.za/terseus-liebenberg-named-best-coach-past-three-decades
Terseus Liebenberg named the best coach of past three decades
“Master”. That is a title few can lay claim to. Best of the best. That is when a profession becomes a calling and is then developed into an art. Terseus Liebenberg definitely falls into this category. Over more than three decades his knowledge and skill have taken athletes with talent and transformed them into global stars. In the…https://news.nwu.ac.za/thorny-road-does-not-intimidate-jane-fransman
Thorny road does not intimidate Jane Fransman
With every stair Tebogo climbs to the stage, with every step he takes across the stage, the heart of his mom, Jane Fransman, beats faster. Thump-thump, thump-thump. Proud beats. When he stops and receives his teaching degree there, in the auditorium of the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University (NWU), she wants to jump out of her skin.…https://news.nwu.ac.za/af/duwweltjiepad-ontsenu-nie-vir-jane-fransman-nie
Duwweltjiepad ontsenu nie vir Jane Fransman nie
Met elke trappie wat Tebogo tot op die verhoog klim, met elke tree wat hy oor die verhoog gee, het sy ma, Jane Fransman, se hart vinniger begin klop. Doef-doef, doef-doef. Trotse slae. Toe hy tot stilstand kom en dáár, in die ouditorium op die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) se Potchefstroomkampus, sy onderwysgraad ontvang, wou sy uit haar vel bars.…https://news.nwu.ac.za/af/bbp-syfers-toon-dat-ekonomiese-produksie-feitlik-weer-op-voorpandemievlakke
BBP-syfers toon dat ekonomiese produksie feitlik weer op voorpandemievlakke is
Dit is baie bemoedigend dat die jongste baie-beter-as-verwagte syfers van die bruto binnelandse produk (BBP) vir die eerste kwartaal van 2022 ’n verdere sterk herstel in die ekonomie toon ná die ekonomiese terugslae van die Covid-19-inperkings en die wydverspreide onrus van Julie 2021. Prof Raymond Parsons, ekonoom van die Besigheidskool van die…https://news.nwu.ac.za/gdp-figures-show-economic-production-virtually-back-pre-pandemic-levels
GDP figures show economic production is virtually back to pre-pandemic levels
It is very encouraging that the latest much-better-than-expected gross domestic product (GDP) figures for the first quarter of 2022 show a further strong recovery in the economy following the economic setbacks of the Covid-19 lockdowns and the widespread civil unrest of July 2021. Prof Raymond Parsons, economist from the Business School of the…https://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-crowned-pirates-champions

Drie jaar en 21 wedstryde. Dit is hoe lank die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) se senior span (dit is nou nie die Varsitybekerspan nie) onoorwonne is.
