Right judgement call limits pace of interest rate increase
Jan 27, 2023 - “As was expected, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) continued with its interest-raising cycle with an increase of 25 basis points (bsp), instead of the higher 50 bsp option that had also been widely canvassed.” According to Prof Raymond Parsons, economist from the North-West University (NWU) Business…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/burger-nou-rugbyinstituut-se-veldmaarskalk

Jan 27, 2023 - Dit is ʼn snikhete Donderdagmiddag met die kwik wat so hoog styg soos beurtkraggemoedere. Die Rugbyinstituut van die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) se spankamer, aikona, oorlogkamer, is egter koel. ʼn Tafelgrootte replika van ʼn rugbyveld begroet jou as jy instap, asook Burger van der Westhuizen, die NWU Eagles se nuwe Varsitybeker-afrigter.

Burger now field marshal at the Rugby Institute
Jan 27, 2023 - It is a sizzler of a Thursday afternoon with the mercury as high as load-shedding tempers. However, the team room of the Rugby Institute at the North-West University (NWU) – no, the war room – is cool. A table-sized replica of a rugby field greets you as you enter the room, as does Burger van der Westhuizen, the new Varsity Cup coach for the NWU…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/nuwe-hoofdirekteur-vir-die-nwu-besigheidskool-die-man-agter-die-titel

Jan 31, 2023 - Hoe lank sal krieket nog as die “Gentleman’s Game” bekendstaan, of is daardie bynaam reeds iets van die verlede? Vrouekrieket het hand oor hand toegeneem en hierdie tendens het in 2023 voortgegaan met die IKK se Onder-19 Krieket Wêreldbeker vir Vroue. Die gebeurtenis is in Suid-Afrika aangebied en het op drie plekke plaasgevind, naamlik by die…http://news.nwu.ac.za/under-19-world-cup-fireworks-ignite-womens-cricket

Jan 31, 2023 - How long will cricket still be known as the “Gentleman’s Game”, or is that nickname already a thing of the past? Women’s cricket has grown by leaps and bounds and this trend has continued in 2023 with the ICC Women’s Under-19 Cricket World Cup. The event, which was staged in South Africa, took place at three venues, namely the North-West…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/nwu-akademikus-praat-oor-haar-b2-nns-gradering

Dec 08, 2022 - Om verplig te voel om navorsing te doen en om dankbaar te wees. Dit is hierdie sentimente waaraan prof Susan Coetzee-Van Rooy, navorsingsprofessor aan die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU), dink wanneer sy praat oor die B2-gradering wat sy van die Nasionale Navorsingstigting (NNS) in 2022 ontvang het.

Mislukking van banke in Zimbabwe is die gevolg van swak regulatoriese toesighouding
Dec 08, 2022 - Die algemene mislukking van banke in Zimbabwe oor die afgelope 20 jaar is nou verklaar: ’n vername rede is die ontoereikende toesighouding oor bankinstellings deur die Reserwebank van Zimbabwe (RBZ) en ander regulatoriese liggame. Dit is volgens die doktorale studie van Menelisi Ncube, wat onlangs as ’n doktor in die regte in handelsreg by die…http://news.nwu.ac.za/bank-failures-zimbabwe-are-due-poor-regulatory-supervision
Bank failures in Zimbabwe are due to poor regulatory supervision
Dec 08, 2022 - The rampant failure of banks in Zimbabwe in the past 20 years has now been explained: a major reason is inadequate supervision of banking institutions by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) and other regulatory bodies. This is according to the doctoral study of Menelisi Ncube, who recently graduated from the North-West University (NWU) as a…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/navorser-wys-die-weg-aan-oor-hoe-om-akademiese-integriteit-te-bevorder
Navorser wys die weg aan oor hoe om akademiese integriteit te bevorder
Dec 08, 2022 - Die akademiese wêreld kan maklik deur oneerlikheid en plagiaat geïnfiltreer word, veral in moeilike tye soos die afgelope twee jaar van die Covid-19-pandemie. Goeie akademiese praktyk is noodsaaklik vir dosente en studente.

Dec 08, 2022 - Dit is duidelik dat iets aan dissipline in skole gedoen moet word, maar om weer lyfstraf terug te bring, selfs op ’n beperkte skaal, is waarskynlik nie die antwoord nie. Dit is een van die bevindings van ’n studie deur dr Noorullah Shaikhnag, senior lektor en adjunkdirekteur by die Skool vir Psigososiale Opvoeding van die Noordwes-Universiteit…http://news.nwu.ac.za/parents-differ-learners-and-teachers-their-views-corporal-punishment-schools

Dec 08, 2022 - It is clear that something needs to be done about discipline in schools, but reintroducing corporal punishment, even on a limited scale, is probably not the answer.

Dec 08, 2022 - Water is ’n noodsaaklike komponent van lewe op aarde, en ons kan nie daarsonder oorleef nie. Die hartseer werklikheid is egter dat ons hierdie hulpbron as vanselfsprekend beskou en dat baie meer gedoen moet word om dit te bewaar.
