The coronavirus pandemic has meant that many universities are only operating at half capacity and can only accept a limited number of students.
Other universities operate exclusively online, which makes it difficult for prospective students to apply for admission.
The Ndlovu After School Program wants to help here and paid a visit to the Sebakaga Seconday School in Mpheleng. Here, matriculants were helped with their online applications.
The Ndlovu Sports, Arts and Culture Program hosted the annual Spring Fun at the Ndlovu Elandsdoorn and Bloempoort Campus on 3 September 2021. There was plenty of fun and games for children aged 6 to 18. The children said they couldn’t remember the last time they had so much fun.
The main purpose of the Ndlovu Sports, Arts and Culture Program is to nurture the talents of young people and improve youth fitness. However, the program also sees itself as a safe haven for young children who may become victims of behavioral problems after school. The range of activities on offer includes various sports (soccer, volleyball, netball, tennis and basketball), indoor games, fitness and aerobics training, the youth choir and much more.
Utrecht University awarded Hugo Tempelman an honorary doctorate this week for his long-standing commitment to community development, particularly children and youth programs and research in rural areas of South Africa. Hugo’s full title is now PhD (h.c), MD, MCM.
From 2007 to 2012, Hugo Tempelman was a visiting lecturer in education and healthcare in resource-poor areas at Utrecht University. In this role, he supervised master’s students at the Faculty of Social Sciences and prepared doctoral studies for UMC Utrecht. In 2015, Ndlovu’s collaboration with Utrecht University and UMC Utrecht took firm shape with the establishment of the Ndlovu Research Consortium, which also includes the Wits Reproductive Health and HIV Institute at the University of Witwatersrand (Wits) in Johannesburg. As part of this collaboration, 250 students have already conducted research at the Ndlovu Clinic.
The university’s website states: Rector Magnificus Henk Kummeling is proud that Hugo Tempelman will receive an honorary doctorate this year. “As Utrecht University, we are always looking for ways to contribute to a better world, to bridge the gap between new scientific knowledge and social impact. Hugo Tempelman is a role model in this. He uses his expertise to help others. The data obtained in the clinic are in turn the basis for new scientific publications, to which he himself contributes. He is very deserving of an honorary doctorate for social services.”
