ALUMNI Celebrating 10 years with song and laughter Annette Willemse W What happens when a renowned female South African rock singer, guitarist, and song-writer teams up with an Indian-born South African comedian, actor and doctor? Magic! This is according to Alwine Naude, Alumni Coordinator at the Vaal Triangle Campus of the North-West University (NWU Vaal) and organiser of the NWU Vaal Alumni Gala Dinner 2014. This year, alumni and friends of the Campus from across South Africa will be treated to a unique entertainment experience featuring Karen Zoid and Riaad Moosa. The theme of this year’s event is “Celebrate” and the event serves a dual purpose; not only does it serve as a platform from where the Campus can celebrate its alumni community but also the 10th anniversary of the instituting of the North-West University. The NorthWest University (with its three campuses) came into being on 1 January 2004. As part of the transformation of the higher education landscape in South Africa. The institutions that came together to create the NWU were the Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education (PU for CHE) and the University of North-West (UNIBO). In the case of the Vaal Triangle Campus the staff and students of the Sebokeng Campus of the Vista University were also incorporated. The event will take place at the Quest Conference Estate in Vanderbijlpark on Thursday, 30 October 2014 and the cost amounts to R2 300 per table of ten guests or R250 per person.
