Late for a lecture, or desperate to leave before the traffic starts queueing – if only you could just fly through campus like a superhero … The parkour and freerunning professionals at Concrete Foundation Crew do something like that. This crew of athletes and stunt performers – the longest-running parkour academy in South Africa – sometimes trains on the Wits campus. Their motto: “Never stop learning. Always remain a student. A student of movement.” But obviously, don’t try this without proper training.

There’s always the option of a more sedate virtual tour of campus if you’re feeling nostalgic.
