We extend a hardy congratulations to Prof Maniraj Sukdaven and his team from the Oxford (UP) Centre for Religion, Public Life and Security in Africa following your successful community outreach project in recent weeks. By partnering with the Buddha’s Light International Association, as represented by Dr Alice Chan from the Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology, you were able to bless over 100 differently-abled people with much needed, and brand new mobility devices. Well done! #jesusvibes #reapwhatyousow

It’s that time of the year where everyone is under pressure and getting ready for exams. Not just any exams; the end of year exams. As you are about to get into exam season, take this verse as an encouragement. Leave behind all worries and all fear of how exams will be or even the results. Cast all your anxieties onto God and trust in him to strengthen you and help through this season. All the best, you can do this! #mentalhealth #universityofpretoria #exampreperation #flyatup #theology

It is with grateful hearts that we bid Dr Kobus Myburgh farewell, as he steps down from his leadership position in the NGK curatorium at UP and takes a big leap into retirement. May the road always rise to meet you kind sir! #finishwell #ngk

We are delighted to share the outstanding achievements of our alumnus, Tshwanelo Serumola. A proud graduate of the 2021 BDiv programme, Tshwanelo has published two children's books already, and this latest collaboration with Wimpy will only increase her influence as a champion of literacy amongst South African children. A former First Year Guardian from House Theology, Tshwanelo is making a positive impact on society, while proving that a theological qualification is so much broader than what you may think. #readtoyourkids #proudtheologygrads
