“Fortunate to take a tour of Wits University yesterday. I was an actuarial student at Wits during the turbulent 80s. All I can say is that Wits today is in a far better state, developed in many new and exciting ways and making a positive contribution to the future of South Africa. It is a juxtaposition to the surrounding areas in Johannesburg. My hope is that the growth, optimism and excellence from Wits permeates into the rest of Johannesburg. I really encourage alumni (in fact anyone) that wants to be positively uplifted about the potential of South Africa, take a tour around Wits, it’s world class. It is a true asset of our city and South Africa”.
