Former NWU council chair Johan Kruger said when the university was established, the aim was to get to where staff and students looked demographically different from apartheid institutions. “Problems that are crucial to institutions of higher learning will still occur from time to time. But we can say that the ship is stable, the course is set and the captain and his crew are firmly in control,” added Kruger.NWU principal and vice-chancellor Prof Mzubanzi Bismark Tyobeka said the institution’s vision for the future was to explore new frontiers and opportunities for the benefit of society.“In January 2028, we will have the first intake of 50.

“We always emphasise that, when we inaugurate student leaders after their election into office, the first meeting is between them and myself and the management team. At the meeting, we tell them ‘you are now in charge and being in charge means you have to be responsible.’
