A jolly good read Zylstra Family

A flagship Centenary project is the Wits Brian and Dorothy Zylstra Sports Complex – made possible by an extremely generous legacy gift of R200 million from the Zylstra Family and the Skye Foundation. This soon to come, one-of-a-kind complex will usher in an exciting future for the next 100 years of Wits Sport and Health, servicing our greater Wits community through a dynamic Teaching, Research, High Performance Training and Clinical Practice, a dedicated Sports Residence, and a state-of-the-art Aquatics and Rowing Centre.

Wits University Press, the oldest in South Africa, turned 100 this year. Read more about research by the books and 1575 book titles in 100 years, including the #Wits100 book, Wits University: From Excavation to Innovation.
