Wilgenhof updates
Stellenbosch University's Council took the decision, in terms of clause 10(3)(g) of the University's Institutional Statute at its meeting on 16 September 2024 to close the Wilgenhof men's residence in its current format and to replace it with a reimagined and rejuvenated male residence student community. A renewed residence intends to acknowledge the constructive aspects of Wilgenhof while making a decisive break with the unacceptable and secretive practices of the past, as we move forward in fostering an environment where all students can thrive, in a community that upholds the values of inclusivity, respect, and excellence.
