The Sibusiso Bhengu Infrastructure Grant for R600m will boost UniVen’s infrastructure and new courses including an Advanced Nursing Science Simulation Building.
The University of Venda in Limpopo says its plans to build a multi-purpose campus in Louis Trichardt will soon be implemented.
The university announced plans to construct a satellite campus a few years ago.
The campus will house a business school, research centres, a convention centre and a boutique hotel, amongst others. It is also expected to create nearly two thousand jobs upon completion.
University of Venda spokesperson Dr Takalani Dzaga says the plans have been approved by the university council.
“The University of Venda wishes to assure members of the public that the development of the UNIVEN Makhado campus has not been delayed. Over the past few years. The university has been undertaking a series of important and necessary processes to ensure the successful establishment of the campus. So, this process includes, among other things, a comprehensive feasibility study as well as securing approvals from the university’s governance structures. We are pleased to announce that the feasibility study has been successfully concluded, and a report has been tabled for consideration by the council. It is worth stating that the feasibility study report has been approved by the University of Venda council,” Dzaga says.
