Staged in the Sanlam Auditorium on the campus in Potchefstroom on 30 and 31 August and on 1 and 2 September, the much-loved musical Fame was a thrilling, unforgettable feast for the senses.
The creative team responsible for Fame, namely members of Artéma, Alabama Productions and NWU Potch Arts, took the audience on a glorious journey filled with great performances by talented performers who included students and lecturers.
Alumna Nacia Kruger directed and choreographed this exciting production, while Pieter de Bruin, the artistic director of the Artéma recording studio, was in charge of the music. A nine-piece orchestra provided the accompaniment.

“Best in the world” is an accolade bestowed on a select few; a testament to absolute dedication to one’s art. From 16 September to the start of the next Varsity Cricket tournament early in 2018, these words will either precede or follow the name of the North-West University’s (NWU) cricket team.
This comes after NWU coach Conrad de Swardt’s team added to their Varsity Cricket glory by winning the Red Bull Campus Cricket World Final in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
The tournament featured players from South Africa, Australia, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, the United Arab Emirates and Zimbabwe.
The NWU, officially representing South Africa, made easy enough work of their island nation hosts in the final by chasing down their total of 121 all out in just 15.2 overs. The NWU started their campaign with a nail-biting six-wicket win over Australia before beating India (72 runs), Pakistan (76 runs) and Bangladesh (seven wickets).
Janneman Malan was the tournament’s top run scorer with 259 runs, as well as the competition’s most valuable player. Next on the list was another NWU star, Wihan Lubbe, with 152 runs and the accolade as the third most valuable player. The NWU’s Dyllin Matthews was the leading wicket taker with 12 scalps.
