Abstract | "Sol Plaatje University began in 2013, one of only two universities set up in South Africa since 1994. Since then it has made impressive progress, a new campus has been built, more than two thousand students are enrolled, and it is having a transformative effect on the city of Kimberly and the surrounding region. This book aim to mark this achievement to explain how the university came into being and what it now does. It also seeks to convey a sense, including a visual sense, of the histories and identities that have shaped and inspired SPU. The decision to set up a new university in Kimberly was taken by central government but it was undoubtedly an idea whose time had come. Kimberly and the Northern Cape have proud intellectual traditions, and fascinating histories. They have given energy to the new university in the early years of its existence and they have fostered a quite distinctive local and regional identity."--Back cover. |
