A Visit from the Southern African Regional Universities Forum: 6 July 2026

On 6 July 2026, Stellenbosch University (SU) officially launched a physical operations office for the Southern African Regional Universities Association (SARUA), marking a significant milestone in regional higher education collaboration. Hosted within the Centre for Collaboration in Africa (CCA) at SU International, the new office transitions SARUA from a primarily virtual operation, maintained since 2007, into a centralised physical hub designed to bolster academic and research networks across the subcontinent.

The launch meeting brought together key leadership figures, including Prof Sibusiso Moyo (SU Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research, Innovation, and Internationalisation), Prof Stephen Simukanga (SARUA Executive Director), and Dr Nico Elema (Director of the CCA). Also in attendance to support the operational transition were Ms Norma Derby (Programme Manager for Africa Partner Development) and Ms Sue-Vicky Brandt (Coordinator for Finance and Administration at the CCA).
