Bringing it home

The Homecoming Weekend was an incredible sea of blue – thousands of Witsies - snaked through Braamfontein during our Centenary Parade. This was a demonstration of unity, of pride, and belonging to our 100-year-old University, that undoubtedly impacts on society, for good. This was followed by the Wits100 alumni reunion, the Visible Resonance Light Show, a reimagined Free People’s concert, which raised over R500 000 for the Wits Food Bank, the unveiling of scholarship boards, a multi-generational Wits SRC Reunion and a Centenary Founders’ Tea which included perspicacious words from our current and former chancellors, Dr Judy Dlamini and Justice Dikgang Moseneke on the role of universities in society today, views supported by our Chair of Council, Isaac Shongwe.
