Prof GJ (Gerrit Jacobus) Crafford, Maties alumnus and currently Associate Professor in Quantity Surveying at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) has been elected to the Stellenbosch University Council by members of the Stellenbosch University Convocation. 

Prof Crafford's term starts on 4 November 2016 and comes to an end on 1 April 2020. The vacancy arose following the resignation of Advocate JC (Jan) Heunis who was elected as Council member by the Convocation for the period 2 April 2016 to 1 April 2020.

Members of the Convocation were requested to submit nominations to fill this vacancy and as more than one candidate was nominated, an election was held. Convocation members were able to vote in different ways – via fax, e-mail, by post, by hand or electronically.

The other nominated candidates were Mr JS (Job) Amupanda, an academic at the University of Namibia; Ms J (Jeanne-ette) Boshoff, international business leader and tertiary education marketing specialist; and Ms LC (Lovelyn Chidinma) Nwadeyi,  Independent Adviser Service Consultant at Allan Gray Pty Ltd.
