FoRewoRdProf H Russel Botman, Rector and Vice-Chancellor

Shaping 21st-century thought leaders

In recent years, Stellenbosch University (SU) has established

itself as a place of both excellence and relevance. Through the HOPE

Project, we have been deploying our knowledge base and expertise

to address seemingly intractable problems in South Africa and the rest

of the continent – from combating poverty and contributing to human dignity and health, to consolidating

democracy and human rights, promoting peace and security, and

balancing a sustainable environment with a competitive industry.

chaiRman’s Review

Thys du Toit, Chairman of the Board of Trustees

Building trust

When the previous chairman, the late Thys Visser, asked me to join

the Stellenbosch Trust as trustee in 2010, I viewed it as a privilege and

honour. It struck a chord with me. As a young man, my first job in investment management was at Syfrets, who then

managed Stellenbosch University’s Eeufees Trustfonds. At the time,

illustrious figures such as Jan van der Horst, David de Villiers and Gys Steyn

were trustees. So, besides being an OudMatie, it is an honour to attempt

to fill the shoes of those that have gone before me. My background has

been closely aligned with Stellenbosch University for many years, hence attempting to “plough back” is a

challenge that I gladly accept.

New living and learning spaces better serve student needs

Buildings that have formed part of Stellenbosch University’s well-known landscape for many years, now have new neighbours jostling for attention amongst the familiar

Victorian structures. In 2012, the University opened a number of new facilities as part of its long-term strategy to better serve, teach, educate and give access. Donors

are invited to contribute to the development of this new landscape and help create a new learning footprint.
