It rests on the foot of the massive Devil’s Peak; not far from there lies the imposing Cape of Good Hope, a crossroads of two oceans. Accordingly, the university’s Latin motto is Bona Spes. With its neo- classic architecture, the university has the atmosphere of an enclave of British academic tradition in Africa. The first courses opened in 1874; since then, the UCT has produced five Nobel prizes and it forms, along with other well-established South African universities, one of the most productive research centers in the continent. I was sent there in 2009, in order to research on the history of South African audiovisual media, sponsored by Fapesp (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo).

  • CASE STUDY the Delivery of the First Phase of the Two New Universities
    CASE STUDY The delivery of the first phase of the two new universities: Ronald Watermeyer, DEng (Witwatersrand), BScEng, Hon.FSAICE, FIStructE, FICE, FSAAE, PrEng, CEng, PrCM, PrCPM Director, Infrastructure Options Pty Ltd, Randburg, South Africa; Visiting Adjunct Professor, School of Construction Economics and Management, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa Introduction The process for establishing the new universities was initiated when the Minister of Higher Education and Training (DHET) appointed two task teams in 2010 to investigate the feasibility and possible models for the establishment of universities in the Mpumalanga and the Northern Cape Provinces. Following extensive consultation with stakeholders in these two provinces, the task teams submitted their reports to the Minister in September 2011, and subsequently to the Council on Higher Education (CHE) for their advice. The Minister of Higher Education decided to proceed with both universities in the conviction that universities are essentially national institutions and that a university in the Northern Cape would attract students from across the country and not only from the school system in the Northern Cape (NUPMT, 2018) In 2007, stimulated by government infrastructure funding, the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) embarked upon its first major capital expansion programme in over 20 years. Initially a traditional master-servant approach was pursued, which led to significant cost overruns, the full extent of which was only known months after completion. The client team decided to explore an alternative approach to delivering infrastructure based on long-term, collaborative relationships and early contractor involvement, underpinned by the NEC3 family of contracts. This approach produced a consistently reliable time and cost outcome over the R1,5b infrastructure programme (Laryea and Watermeyer, 2014).

Naki’s contribution was an outlaw act, a criminal offense under the laws of apartheid due to the difference of races; the law forbade him to cut white meat or touch white blood. Naki was perhaps the second most important man in the team that day. There were few photographs where he and Barnard appeared together, but because of the nature of society was Barnard who won the world’s attention. (Gac Med Mex. 2016;152:636-8) Corresponding author: Julio César López-Valdés, [email protected] KEY WORDS: Heart. Transplant. Christian Barnard. Heart transplant. “As I entered, a kindly looking big African gentleman looked up. ‘Yes my boy, what can I do for you?’ He was clearly in the middle of an operation, and on the other side of the table stood a white surgeon.

    Assessing the Marketing Communication Plan for student recruitment at the North-West University HJ Degenaar orcid.org/0000-0001-7569-2660 Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Communication Studies at the North-West University Supervisor: Dr L Holtzhausen Graduation May 2018 Student number: 10069038 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To all the people who, through their support and encouragement, helped to ensure the completion of this study, thank you. In particular, I would like to mention the following people who proved to be invaluable to me throughout the study: My supervisor, Dr Lida Holtzhausen, for the time spent with me, offering insights, guidance and most of all encouragement and motivation throughout the research process. Thank you for understanding my situation. My family, especially my wife Anette and two children, Anja and Phillip, who supported and believed in me and encouraged me to complete the study. Prof Suria Ellis from Statistical Consultation Services at the North-West University’s Potchefstroom campus for her guidance and assistance in analysing the results from the quantitative questionnaire. Mrs Cecilia van der Walt for language editing my dissertation and for the advice given. Mrs Elsa Esterhuizen for the quality control of the bibliography. My Heavenly Father who gave me strength. i ABSTRACT The competition for quality students has become a marketing challenge for universities which has led to the implementation of different student recruitment practices. Fierce competition between Higher Education Institutions in South Africa, increased government pressure to transform and declining government subsidies have forced Universities to increase the number of students as a means of increasing their income.
