Researcher secures place of parasites on red list for endangered species
Jun 14, 2023 - Parasites. Just uttering the word may send shivers down the spine, conjuring up images of rapidly proliferating organisms devouring or destroying other species.

NWU: Opvoeding is hoe ons ons jeug kan laat floreer
Jun 15, 2023 - Oor tyd heen verwater woorde, en frases verloor hulle betekenis. Wysheid verdwyn in die niet namate herhaling clichés skep. Dit is waar ons ons tans bevind. Luister ons nog wanneer ons “die jeug” en “toekoms” hoor? Die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) glo dat hierdie twee woorde – saam – nie net voorop in almal se woordeskat moet wees nie, maar wanneer…http://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-education-how-we-let-our-youth-thrive-and-flourish
NWU: Education is how we let our youth thrive and flourish
Jun 15, 2023 - As time passes, words are watered down and phrases lose their meaning. Wisdom passes into obscurity as repetition creates clichés. This is where we are now.

The North-West University (NWU) believes that these two words – together – should not only feature prominently in every vocabulary, but…http://news.nwu.ac.za/academic-wins-international-award

Vernon Paulo beur boontoe
Jun 02, 2023 - Daar is soveel van ’n vasbyter in Vernon Paulo se benadering tot rugby dat dit ’n mens amper bang maak. Dié amper-22-jarige woelgees van ’n haker is op die oorlogspad. Vra maar vir Ikeys se skrumskakel, Asad Moos, wat tydens die Varsitybeker-finaal tussen die Eagles en die Tigers besluit het om die tuisspan se verdediging met ’n fopaangee te toets…http://news.nwu.ac.za/vernon-paulo-clawing-his-way-top
Vernon Paulo is clawing his way to the top
Jun 02, 2023 - There is a tenacity to Vernon Paulo’s approach to rugby that is, quite frankly, scary. The soon-to-be 22-year-old dynamo of a hooker has an appetite for destruction. Just ask Ikeys scrumhalf Asad Moos who, during the Varsity Cup final between the Eagles and the Tigers, decided to test the home team’s defence with a dummy. He failed. Paulo lined…http://news.nwu.ac.za/af/jean-tiedt-koning-van-verdediging

Jun 02, 2023 - Rugby het verander. Dit het ontwikkel. Kyk maar na van die wedstryde in die 70’s, 80’s en vroeë tot middel-90’s. Dit was ’n bietjie van ’n deurmekaarspul, was dit nie? Daar was min struktuur (in elk geval nie soos vandag nie) en dit was meer van ’n skermutseling as ’n kliniese vertoning. Ja, daar was ’n paar asemrowende drieë, maar dit was omdat…http://news.nwu.ac.za/jean-tiedt-king-defence
Jean Tiedt: King of defence
Jun 02, 2023 - Rugby has changed. It has evolved. Take a look at some of the games in the 70s, 80s and early to mid-90s. They were a bit of a mess, weren’t they? There was little structure (not like nowadays, anyway) and it was more of a scrap than a clinical exhibition. Yes, there were some spectacular tries, but they occurred because defence players relied…http://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-vice-chancellor-reflects-first-year-office
