BBP-groeisyfers vir die eerste kwartaal van 2023
Jun 07, 2023 - Volgens prof Raymond Parsons van die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) Besigheidskool is die goeie nuus dat die BBP-groei van 0,4% in die eerste kwartaal van 2023, ná die hersiene -1,1%-groei in die vierde kwartaal van 2022, die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie in staat gestel het om ’n tegniese resessie – met ander woorde twee agtereenvolgende kwartale van…https://news.nwu.ac.za/dp-growth-figures-first-quarter-2023
DP growth figures for the first quarter of 2023
Jun 07, 2023 - According to Prof Raymond Parsons from the North-West University (NWU) Business School, the good news is that GDP growth of 0,4% in the first quarter of 2023, following on the revised -1,1% growth in the fourth quarter of 2022, has enabled the South African economy to avoid a technical recession – in other words, two consecutive quarters of…https://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-lecturer-becomes-first-family-bag-phd

Adele and Tete gunning for Comrades gold
Jun 07, 2023 - It is a tale etched in South African athletics folklore. One-hundred-and-two-years ago, an ultramarathon was born to celebrate comradery and the indomitable human spirit in the wake of the devastation caused by the First World War. It is an 87701 km odyssey of pain and perseverance. It is the Comrades Marathon. It again starts at dawn and ends at…https://news.nwu.ac.za/af/jean-tiedt-koning-van-verdediging
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…https://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…https://news.nwu.ac.za/af/vernon-paulo-beur-boontoe
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…https://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…https://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-vice-chancellor-reflects-first-year-office

There is nothing precarious about Precious’ future
Jun 02, 2023 - Precious Mokomele has an infectious laugh. It drifts in and out like a tide. Sometimes it is a gentle cascade, sometimes it is uproarious, emanating from some joyous part within herself where she keeps all the treasures of her happiness. “I laugh a lot,” she confesses, unsurprisingly with a laugh. “My friends tell me I laugh too easily.” What is…https://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-graduate-age-just-number
NWU graduate: age is just a number
