Building a Legacy UNIVERSITY SUSTAINABILITY
dependent on financial support such as bursaries, grants and family networks to cover study expenses. These sources have all been constrained in recent years by poor economic growth and recently exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Given these pressures, the sustainability of the university requires significant and consistent support in the form of government subsidies,
infrastructure grants, corporate sponsorship and donations, and a range of philanthropic support from donor agencies, alumni, friends of the institution and even staff. Without this support, the cost of a university education would rise far beyond the means of most South Africans to access. The university has initiated several ongoing campaigns to raise the funds required to safeguard our proud legacy and continue our mission.
