The University’s men’s table tennis team did not disappoint, and took third place at the USSA Table Tennis Championship after competing against four South African universities – Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Western Cape, and Limpopo.
The 2021 championship was postponed to 2022 due to the Omicron virus and was held from 15 to 21 March at Sol Plaatje University (SPU). Busy academic and registration calendars also resulted in fewer universities participating. However, players and spectators were treated to a tournament of a high standard with standout performances from the universities of KwaZulu-Natal and Free State, who took first and second places, respectively.
It was the second USSA table tennis tournament hosted by the University.
