More than 760 players and officials involved in university rugby are in Kimberley for the annual University Sports South Africa (USSA) men\u2019s and women\u2019s Rugby Sevens Championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first time the Sol Plaatje University (SPU) will host this event, which is open to the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this series of competitive rugby matches, 24 teams of higher education institutions from across the country, as well as from Botswana, will gather at the SPU Sports Campus Fields and Windhoek Draught Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event already commenced on Tuesday (20\/09) with a 5 km SPU Campus Night Race, as 20 September was proclaimed by Unesco as the International Day of University Sport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An opening ceremony is set to take place on Friday (23\/09) at 17:00, with the championships on Friday and Saturday, from 09:00 to 17:00. The format of seven players on each team, with each match lasting a mere seven minutes, makes each match electrifying and fast-paced. Expect painted faces, wigs and outlandish outfits \u2013 the norm at Rugby Sevens matches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemmie, SPU\u2019s mascot, will keep spirits high. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow SPU social media platforms for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
