A fun autumn day at the inaugural Campus Life Festival

Sol Plaatje University’s (SPU) Campus Housing and Accommodation Unit (CAHAU) hosted the first annual Campus Life Festival on Saturday, 20 May 2023, at Windhoek Draught Park Stadium and at the SPU South Campus Precinct. Yet again, students showed that the SPU community does not fall short when it comes to talent and support.

Glorious sun, enthusiasm and boatloads of fun were the order of the day as students kicked off with lots of activities, including participating in a formation of dance, and through a wide range of sporting codes including football, volleyball, netball, basketball, and more dance.

The Central University of Technology (CUT) students descended from their respective campuses to participate in a high-stake knock-out competition with SPU students. The competition offered an opportunity for men and women’s student teams to demonstrate their athlete prowess and to emerge victorious.

The main goal of the event was for the SPU community to immerse themselves in different activities to spark unity, boost community development, and celebrate the rich diversity within our on-and-off-campus residences and clusters communities, in the mission of engaging critically of discourse and communities of people to search out pathways to equitable development.

The highlights of the day were the formation of dances where students showcased their creativity, teamwork, co-ordination, as well as the play-offs of different sporting codes between CUT and SPU.

Prizes were won as a token of appreciation to all the participants. While waiting for the formation of dance winner announcement, one of the students who participated, Tshepang Matamela, mentioned a quote by Kobe Bryant: “The mindset isn’t about seeking a result – it’s more about the process of getting to that result.”
