Mathematics was transformed into a creative, interactive experience through the Women in Mathematics exhibition on 8 May. It was presented by the Faculty of Education at Stellenbosch University (SU). From Hidden Figures-inspired data activities to creative geometry demonstrations, the exhibition challenged stereotypes and showed that everyone can do mathematics.

For 25 years, Usiko has used wilderness-based rites of passage programmes to support young people in at-risk communities. This year, the Stellenbosch-based NPO is taking on some of South Africa’s most prominent peaks, reflecting its belief in growth, resilience and transformation.

What does democracy truly mean when constitutional promises remain absent from people’s daily realities?

In “Who is democracy serving?”, a fourth-year Stellenbosch University (SU) law student and Chief Administrator of Student Imbizo, Nthabeleng Thomas, reflects on spatial inequality, recurring flooding in Kayamandi, and the growing tension between the democratic ideals and the lived experiences of vulnerable communities.

The piece interrogates governance, accountability, and whether post-apartheid transformation has materially translated into dignity, safety and socioeconomic justice for all.

Freedom is not just something we celebrate, it is something we take part in. Students came together at Erfurthuis to talk about democracy and what it means for young people today. The message was clear: your voice matters and your choices shape the future.

Refugee and displaced students at Stellenbosch University say they continue to face barriers to funding, representation, employment opportunities, and institutional support.

During a student plenary sitting held on 30 April, students raised concerns regarding exclusion, safety, and the lack of structured support systems for refugee students on campus. SRC representatives acknowledged gaps in support and stated that the matter has now become a priority moving forward.

Two SU students have been found guilty by the Central Disciplinary Committee (CDC) of charges pertaining to the Majuba incident. One student, pleading not guilty, awaits his hearing. At the same time, the National Prosecuting Authority is yet to make a decision. It is clear Stellenbosch is far from done with the Majuba case.

Following the recent price increase, electricity is becoming a growing financial demand for students in private accommodation. As the cost of living continues to increase, many students are feeling the pressure of managing their daily expenses.

In a world filled with a maelstrom of global tension and socio-economic unpredictability, there is something rebellious about the act of laughter. The Stellenbosch University’s (SU) Drama Department production of Tom, Dick and Harry serves as a blowoff valve in a world of increasing pressure. Our Stellenbosch students remind us through theatre that, even when everything is falling apart, there is joy to be found in the wreckage.

Al 44 (maal min of meer met tien) Afrikaanssprekendes was by die galageleentheid en konsert ter viering van die Woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal (WAT) se 100ste bestaansjaar. Hierdie spoggerige viering is volgens Gerhard van Wyk, Eindredakteur van die WAT, “nie net ’n verjaarsdagpartytjie” nie, maar ’n manier om “dankie te sê vir almal wat betrokke is en was”.
